7 GEO. III, Cap. XCIX.

An Act for establishing and well governing a General Hospital to be called Addenbrooke's Hospital in the Town of Cambridge.

[The Preamble of this Act recites, that John Addenbrooke, Doctor of Physic, deceased, by his will dated 1 May 1719, after making several devises and bequests, directed that the residue of his property should at the death of his wife be vested in certain Trustees for the purpose of establishing "a

small Physical Hospital in the Town of Cambridge for poor people;" that, after sundry proceedings and orders in Chancery, lands have been purchased and a Hospital has been built and furnished, but the capital of the Charity is insufficient for carrying on the design; that "several noblemen, gentlemen, clergy, and others, have entered into a voluntary subscription for making the said Hospital a General Hospital;" and that the Trustees assent to this extension of the Testator's plan.
