are used for Orphan Schools. Scarlet fever having occurred
in them at different times, the rooms were measured by the
Inspector at the wish of the Medical Officer, who recommended
a reduction of the number of children sleeping
in certain bed chambers, and Arnott's ventilators to be

were removed to St. George's Hospital.
Flask Lane, No. 8. Drains choked up, no cover to the

notice was served on March 18th. The drains have been
cleansed, and water laid on to the closet.
Mr. Hatt's Cow-yard, Ebury Street. A complaint was
made of manure being carted on to his premises; the manure
was removed.
Wilton Road, No. 3. This place was a perfect den.

house was shut up, and not allowed to be used as a
