Account of the Morgan Hospital

such excess shall be re-imbursed and made good out of the
first monies which shall be received on account of the Hos-
pital ; and the Governors shall thereupon, at then* discretion,
decrease or alter all or any of the yearly and other payments
out of the funds of the Hospital, so, and in such a manner,
as that the same shall not exceed the said yearly income and
revenue.
13. When, and as often as the Auditor, named as herein-
before directed, shall report that there remains a surplus of
the income and revenue of the Hospital above the annual
expenditure, it shall be competent for the Governors to ap-
propriate and apply such surplus in any way which they
shall consider most likely to promote the increased efficiency
of the Hospital ; but any investment of such surplus, other
than depositing it in bank, shall be made in name of the
Trustees hereinbefore appointed, and in heritable securities,
or such other securities, as the Trustees and Governors may,
with the sanction of the Court, in either Division thereof,
approve and select.
14. The number of Boys to be admitted into the Hospital
shall not exceed 100 ; and their admission shall take place at
meetings of the Governors specially called for the purpose :
But, dining the first year after the building is completed,
and ready to be inhabited, not more than 40 Boys shall be
admitted ; and in like manner, not more than 30 Boys shall
be admitted during each of the second and third years
respectively, besides supplying any vacancies that may have
occurred among those previously admitted.
15. No Boy shall be admitted into the Hospital until he
shall have attained the age of 7 years complete, nor after he
shall have attained the age of 9 years complete ; and no Boy
shall be permitted to continue in the Hospital after he shall
have attained the age of 14 years complete.
16. In order to the admission of any Boy, it shall be neces-
sary that it be established to the satisfaction of the Gover-
nors, that either the father or mother of such Boy is (or, if
dead, was) an inhabitant of, and born and educated in one or
other of the towns of Dundee, Forfar, Arbroath, or Montrose ;
but the sons of persons, inhabitants of, and born and edu-
cated in Dundee, shall have the preference.
