Bound softback volume containing on the first pages minutes of the Dispensary committee meetings between 1835 and 1846 and statistical reports from 1843 and 1850. The latter report reveals that the Dispensary struggled to continue its activities at this time because of the lack of resident subscribers. It also notes that ‘Population now much reduced 2/3s of census of 1841’. The minutes of the first meeting, held on 6 January 1835 to form the Dispensary, includes a list of names of subscribers and of potential subscribers to be solicited. Minutes of the second meeting, held on 2 February 1835, incorporate the agreed rules and regulations of the Dispensary. Subsequent meeting notes revolve primarily around funding and accounts. The second part of the book commences upside down from the rear of the volume and comprises income and expenditure accounts, account summaries and lists of subscribers between 1835 and 1848. There are also pro forma notices and text to be used on receipts.
