Turberville, T. C.
Worcester (England) -- History
1820—JANUARY 12—A silver cup presented to Mr. Savigny for his various and
important services to the institution.

H. Savigny, Esq., resigned.
1824—APRIL 23—Dr. Lewis chosen physician in the room of Dr. Woodyatt,

1826—NOVEMBER 6—Election of a physician in the room of Dr. Lewis,
resigned. The candidates were Dr. Nash, proposed by John Williams, Esq.,
and William Wall, Esq.; and Dr. Streeten, proposed by the Rev. Digby
Smith and Major Johnson. At the close of the ballot Dr. Nash was found
to have 298 votes, and Dr. Streeten 243—majority for Dr. Nash 55.
1827—MAY 8—The governors agreed to the erection of an operating room, and
other necessary offices, at an expense of £700.

1829—JULY 27—Mr. T. Carden elected surgeon, _vice_ John Carden, Esq.,
resigned.
1830—JULY 2—The funded property of the institution, hitherto in different
stocks, was all transferred to the Three-and-a-half per Cents. Reduced.
1833—DECEMBER 27—At the quarterly meeting of the governors, Earl
Beauchamp in the chair, it was announced that £1,126 had been collected
for the institution during the last few months at different churches and
Dissenting chapels, which would pay off the debt of £550, due to the
treasurers, and enable them to get through the next twelve months without
touching the funded property. Mr. Gutch afterwards read a report of a
committee which had been appointed to inquire into the expenditure of the
institution which had, for a series of years, exceeded the income. They
admitted that there had been great abuses in various departments of the
institution, and especially as to the supply of drugs and chemicals, and
it was therefore recommended that a practical chemist should be appointed
on the drug committee, who, during his appointment, should be ineligible
to supply drugs. They recommended also that all legacies, above £100,
should be funded, with sundry other regulations. The report was
received, but it was determined not to publish the evidence upon which it
was founded, by a majority of 16 to 11.
1834—APRIL 4—At the quarterly meeting of the governors, a resolution,
determining that all legacies of £100 should be funded, was adopted; and
it was also resolved that the evidence taken respecting the
mal-administration of the drug department, should be referred to a select
committee.
