Fulham, 114 took place in the Fulham Workhouse, 54 males

males and 51 females.
GLANDERS AND FARCY.
No case of glanders or farcy was reported as occuring in the
human subject in this district last year. Among horses the
disease was very prevalent in many of the districts of London.
In this district the outbreak was confined chiefly to certain
stables in Uxbridge Road, Shepherd's Bush. Altogether there
were 71 cases reported in the whole district. It cannot be too
well known that a person having charge of a horse suffering
from the disease is liable to a penalty of £20 if he delays to
report the case. This is a most useful provision as it enables
the proper authorities to obtain immediate information directly
an outbreak occurs.
The following table shows the number of cases of glanders
and farcy reported in this district during the year 1879, with
the localities in which they occurred.

PIGGERIES.
The prosecutions commenced against pig keepers in the
parish of Fulham, in the year 1878, were continued last year.
During the autumn of the year 1878, 13 orders were obtained for
the prohibition of swine keeping in Fulham New Town. One
of the defendants refused to comply, though an extension of
time was allowed by your Board to give time for the disposal^of
