The 198th Section of the Act provides that the Account in
Abstract and summary Statement for the preceding year, together
with a copy of the Report of the Officer of Health during the
preceding year, and a list of the names and addresses of the
Members of the Board, and of their Officers, shall be furnished
with this Report; the Appendices, containing such information,
are therefore hereto annexed, and marked respectively A, B, C.
19th June, 1857.
Signed by order of the Board.

Chairman.
