From that time to the 28th March, the number of
cases which occurred in the public charitable practice,
amongst the 13,000 poor, the servants, &c., in the In-wards,
was 12.
Three cases occurred at No. 10, Robert-street, and
amongst them was the only death, that of an infant of
10 months, recently brought into the district, and unvaccinated.
Three cases were sent to the Small Pox Hospital;
one of whom was first sent to the Fever Hospital,
and transferred to the Small Pox Hospital when the
eruption appeared; four were removed to the Sick Wards
Mount-street, and five were treated at home. Out of the
cases in which the particulars could be learned, seven had
been vaccinated ; one had even been recently re-vaccinated.
Three had not been vaccinated; one of whom was the
infant that died : a second was a girl who had been received
into the Curzon Schools upon the false statement by her
mother that she had been vaccinated; and the third a boy
of 7 was asserted to have had small pox before.
Besides these 12 cases, the disease is known to have
attacked a young man set. 21, well vaccinated, at 32,
Thomas-street, and a man-servant in Portugal Street,
who was sent by his master to the Small Pox Hospital,
and died there. Two cases were said to have happened
in Bruton-place, and two in Mount-street, of which no
particulars are known. But including these, the total
number known in the In-wards during 13 weeks was 18;
or if we reckon from the beginning of the epidemic, in
December, 20.
In the Belgrave sub-district, Dr. Aldis reported 81
cases of small pox to the Sanitary Committee. They
occurred in the following localities:—Hindon-street,
Pulford-street, Union-street, Sutherland-terrace, Upper
Ebury Street, Susannah-place, Grillingham-street, Eccles-
