The Cholera having in a great measure subsided, and all practicable
precautions having been adopted, the Sanitary Committee, in
November, discontinued their frequent meetings, and agreed to meet
only as occasion may require as usual. And the Vestry unanimously
passed a vote of thanks to them for the valuable and important
services rendered by them in the discharge of their very onerous
duties during the late visitation of Cholera.
For the statistics of Cholera cases, &c., see the Report of the
Medical Officer of Health.
The expenses incurred on account of this epidemic, amounting
to £413 15s. 11d.* will be found in the Balance Sheet annexed.

and Matron of the Workhouse, in consideration of extra services in supplying
