The common gas supplied by the London Gas Company
has boon examined by me from time to time at their testing
room, and has always been found to be above the required
standard of illuminating power, and to satisfy the prescribed
tests for ammonia and sulphuretted hydrogen.
For the information of the Parishioners, I may mention
that a hospital carriage for removing persons suffering from
infectious diseases is kept at the workhouse, in Mount
Street; but these who are in a position to bear the expenses
of their support should apply at the London Fever Hospital,
Liverpool Road, Islington; or, in case of small-pox, at the
Highgato Small-pox Hospital, whore they can be accommodated
on favourable terms.
I have tho honour to be,
My Lords and Gontlemon,
Your obedient Sorvant,
W. H. CORFIELD, M.A., M.D. (Oxon.),
F.R.C.P. (London).
10, Bolton Row, Mayfair, W.,
June 1879.
