notices had to be served in 77 cases. This is a larger

unvaccinated, 2 were found insusceptible of vaccination;
5 were postponed by medical certificate, 8 removed to
places duly notified, leaving 17 or 4.8 per cent unaccounted

Sickness amongr The table given with the general sumParochial
Poor, mary at the beginning, gives in a tabulated
form the cases of sickness and death among the parochial
poor. The chief fact which strikes one in connection with
this table is the complete immunity from Zymotic
disease with the exception of Diarhoea and Dysentery
and even among these cases no death occurred.
The usual inspections of the Cow-houses and Slaughter
houses were made and their condition reported on before
the renewal of their licenses. The Bake-houses also
underwent the periodical inspection and were found
satisfactory.
All the Sanitary work of the Parish has been carried
out, without the necessity of the intervention of the law
except in two cases which were investigated by the
Magistrate. No compulsory orders had to be obtained.
All the facts collected and tabulated in the above tables
give abundant evidence that the health of the parish is in
a most satisfactory condition, and fully maintains the
high standard to which we have hitherto attained.
