Applicants refused admission 1851-54

At its weekly meetings, the Management Committee would examine applicants for treatment.  A small number were rejected because their case did not comply with the criteria for admission, set out in the hospital’s rules.

The following list of rejected applicants has been compiled from the Minutes of the Committee of Management 1851-56 held at the Dorset History Centre (NG/HH/DO(C)/1/2/1).  Some – like the first case listed – applied for in-patient treatment but were instead made out-patients.
