Company to the rooms in Ebury-mews, it was burned at
the rate of 2.5 cubic feet per hour, and gave an average
light equal to 10.17 candles; whereas it was subsequently
burned at the rate of 5 cubic feet per hour, in
accordance with the "Metropolis Gas Act, 1860," and
gave a light equal to 22.61 sperm candles.
Very shortly after the end of this quarter, the illuminating
power became so deficient, and the gas was so
loaded with sulphuretted hydrogen, that Dr. Aldis visited
the works at Vauxhall, and afterwards determined the
amount of sulphur in each cubic foot, the result of which
will be given in the ensuing Quarterly Report.
