len (about 6j hours)."
In the sub-district of Golden-square, at 5 Marshall-
street, 11th September, the sou of a boutmaker,: aged
one year, " infantile cholera (2 days)."
At 10, Albert-street, Regent's-park, on 16th September,
the wife of a tailor, aged 52 years, "cholera (9 days), con-
secutive fever (4 days)."
In Clerkensell, at 9, Lower Wood-street, on 11th Sept,

son of a labourer, aged 11 mouths, (Led of "dentition,
diarrbma culliquative, tales niesentcrica (1 mouths)." The
medical attendant in this case, and surgeon of the parish,
writes on hie certificate: " This death was the consequence
of wilful neglect continued throughout four months in re-
spect of diet and medicine, combined with the bad sanitary
oundition of the locality. I am convinced that on an in.
quest a jury would not convict, for they would not believe
the facts of the case as being unnatural and monstrous. It
may be asked whether it would hot be advisable in the
present or similar casts when they occur in future to sum-
mon the offenders before a magistrate to answer for their
offence."
_

At 4, rierrepont-rlace, Islington, the daughter and son
of a hootcloser, aged respectisdy l year and 3 years, died
on the Bth end litho( September, of starlatina followed in
the letter case by typhus. The informant attributed these
deaths to decayed vegetable matter kept on the premises.
There is but sue yard to this and four other houses.
Three deaths were registered last week that occurred in
Highbury-vale, Islington, viz., On the 10th of September,
in Myrtle-street, the son of a butler, aged ono =oath, died
of "atrophy from birth." "The open sewer," says Mr.
Butterfield, "is at the back of the house." On the 12th of
September, at 2, Fort-street, the son of an ironer, aged one
year, "scarlatina (7 days)." The open sewer is also at the
ack of this house. Oa 12th September, at College place,
the son of an attorney's cle-k, aged 3 years, " pertussis (2
months), convulsions (one hour)." The registrar adds:—
" This place (Ilighbury-vale) is in a hollow, bouadcd by
the high ground of Ilighbury, the aqueduct of the New
River, and the embankment of the Great Northern Rail-
way. Not only is its position unfavourable, but an open
sewer runs through it, at all times offensive, but particularly
in hot weather. 'though Fonic of the belt houses of Isling-
ton are in the immediate neighbourh:od, there is not suf.
ficient local inflamer to cause this sewer to be enclosed."

Seven children died from want of breastrailk. Mr. Frulk-
ner, the registrar of the south sub.district of St. Giles-in-
the•Fields, says:—" Last week I registered two deaths of
children produced by want of breastinilk. In one of these
cases the child was placed out at nurse, and then deserted
by the mother. A third cue was registered last month,
and in this instance the mother kept tLe child from birth
without its natural food, as she was obliged to resume her'
neenpntinn OR a rent,, .nd enn•orpon•ly if flied on the tenth
day of its existence. Such facts are of too frequent occur-
, fence in my district."

an objection made by the owner et Bilberry that the other
horses had not earned the proper weight. It appears that
that the highest weight left to was under Bet 7lb • it was

Aaron Smith for running—to that weight, and the others
in proportion, instead of raising it upon the original weight.
Bilberry carried weight according to the articles, but bay
