LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.—The usual monthly meet-
ing took place on Monday last, when Mr. Jeffries pre
sided. ihe Roads Committee report recommended that
in answer to a letter from Mr. Brooke Robinson it shoffid
be stated that there was only one toll-house and a box in
the district that the box would be removed, but as the
toll-house was an encroachment on the public road it was
thought desirable not to consent to its being sold. The
report was adopted.—ln the Finance Committee's report
it wee stated that the balance in hand on the loan account
was £372 its Bd, and on the general account £lO 12s 31.
A cheque for I:-50 was recommended to be handed to Mr.
whitiaaar visa.a hi contract for the Pearson-street im-
provements.—'the Sanitary Committee recommended
that the Board should bear oue-third of the expenee'of
cleansing the canal basin at New-laue, and that the rest
should be borne by the owners. Tory had empowered
the inspector of nuisances to summon at his discretion
rill persons who failed to abate existing nuisances. The
report was approved.—From the mortality returns it ap-
peared that 22 deaths had occurred during the past
month.—Mr. Detheridge stated that in a conversauoh
with Dr. Walker (the reputed owner of the basin referred
to), that gentleman had told him he would undertake to
cleanse it, if the Board would give him £ls.—Mr. Drove
considered that it stould be a bad precedent to give an)
sum towards expenses in cleansing a private basin.—Mr.
Coley concurred ; but Mr. RoPinson thought that an at-
tempt to compel the owner or owners to cleanse the basin
would lead to expensive litigation.—Mr. Detheridge re-
marked that the nuisance had existed for more than 30
years, and he was persuaded that it was the duty of the
Board to accept Dr. Walker's offer.—Mr. Cook urged the
Board to decline the offer, and to summon Dr. Walker
for permitting a nuisance, to exist upon his premises.—
After further discussion, it was resolved that, whilst the
Board declined to admit the liability, they would give
Dr. Walker £l5, provided the basin was cleansed by him
to the satisfaction of the Board.—The Lighting Con,
mitte, having been in communication with the Gas Cow.

ing eight months, from the Ist September to the 30th

Mr. Detheridge, the report was passed.
