A case of anthrax, in a youth aged 17 years has
occurred at Neckinger Mills.
Complaint has been made of a nuisance in
Tanner Street, in front of the Parochial Offices. It
occurs occasionally and at irregular periods. I
have no doubt it arises from offensive animal matters
on the premises of Warren Bros. I have cautioned
that firm to exercise greater care in the management
of their business, and I have requested
Mr. Fenton to inform the Sanitary Officers at the
time when there is any recurrence of the nuisance.
1st June, 1896.
During the week that ended on the 10th day of

thousand of the estimated population. The corresponding
death rate in London was 17·8.

1 year of age numbered 4, and those of persons
