Pr.st-itioverw te CHESIL— With reference to some
authentic inforts.tion we have received respeeting toe
misenthle no-weconauwebition in toUle of the houses in
Chesil, 1 eehoblens should remember that i; is their duty
to report instanees where there is no convenience to the
limpector of Nuisance. It is most Important that this
should be done now while the wmther cold, for when
the heat and summer collie on, such 111114411M4 as we
have heard lof in Chesil will cause people to Lose some of
their families by fevers. A great responsibility n.ssts upon
the medical officers, who should report such rases to the
Board, in order that the bowies may be declared entenante
able till requisite accommodation is supplied by the
landlords.
