PORT SANITARY AUTHORITIES NOTIFICATIONS.
Pursuant to Article 3 of the Local Government Board's Order, No.
28,924, dated September 6th, 1892, information was received from
various Port Sanitary Authorities respecting the place of destination in
the Poplar and Bromley parishes of 287 passengers who had been
allowed to leave the ships. 236 persons were found to have arrived,
and to be in good health, one individual was ill with malarial fever,
and the remainder did not arrive. I prepared a circular letter which was
sent to the Medical Officers of the respective Port Sanitary Authorities,
acquainting them of the non-arrivals, in case mistakes had been made
in the addresses notified. Post cards were left at the houses at the
time of the visits of the Board's officers, and these cards were to
be forwarded to me in the event of any illness occurring in the houses.
When the wrong parishes were notified to this district the papers
were forwarded on to the proper destination at once.
