Mr. C. Wary.: Then we may fall back upon the

medical offset?
Kr. HOWARD said yea. It had been onsationed
whether those who hold the present poor law appoint-

the county mooting that they were preolnded from
doing so. But Mr. Floyer submitted • romlution

the resolution was carried. At Weymouth Town

that they should appolet a medical man for their

of the primed Board, they would simply Dna
