poses was brought seder eassideratiom It slated that the
committee had had under their conaidetatioo the memorial
of the inhabitants of Hader-lace, City, respecting the
nuisance caused by a alaughter-howe in that locality, with
regard to which the committee bad had prepared a state-
ment by the medical °Moor of health in oonnexioc with the
slaughter-home in qasetion, with a new to a memorial to
issue from the cionuniserm being addressed to the Secretary
of State for the Home Department, in order to secure the
removal of the daughter-house /dead to ; bet the com-
mittee thought it right that the portion should be
brought before the court itself before menecesliaing bar

serious injury so them hither respective trader, and would
sated a serious mosey less on them individually and ccl-

!actively.
A protracted diseassios followed. is which several
mambas of the court advocated the removal.
but urged that the parties should be fully end fairly
compemotol. Ou the other baud it was argued that it
the clone& of this particular slaughter-house were carried,
the movement ought to extesd to every other slaughter-
house within the City of Loodoa. That subject wee sot
yet ripe for discussion. Ultimately the subject was re.
forma back to the Committee for Getters' Purposes for

The metropoittan mce dietciet, the insusetrus appointed

lead afterwards to see it disposed of, with the assent of the

The Lords of the Council having *very wish to facilitate
the disinfecting and disposal of dialoged animals bays
ordered that dminlootaate be suptdied to the aaspeeters of
the metropolitan police diatriot, for use within the limits of
the district' This letter was signed "Arthur Helps," and
enclosed the following letter, already referred to, end ad-
dressed by Mr. T. G. neriag to the Clerk of the Privy
Council. The letter was mashed in the following tuft;
under the dated the 10th October leek :—" lam directed
by Secretory Sir George Grey to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 3th inst., transmitting a copy of the ow-
respondence between the Lords of the Council ad the
Oommiesionars of Senses, open which vin request his
opinion and advice. I am directed by Sir Georg Grey
to state that he amours is the opinion yes expron,
to provide places for the disposal of diseased
animals, but that in his opinion the matter was
one which was not within the province of the government
to undertake, as the provision should be left to the local
authorities. It certainly must be dangerous to bury
dammed wawa in Huai, -populated districts, but Ss
George Grey has received a representation that the
inspectors had rot exercised improperly the powers gives
to them under the 10th section of the order in Conseil
of the 22nd September leak With reformat to the
authority to direct the disposal of emcee" with the
consent of the owner, otherwise thee by burial, Sir
George Grey bas recently sent to the Leeds of the Coca&
a report furnished to him, at his request, by Mx.
Holland, the inspector of burials, showing that mew
existed by which samosas of diseased minutia can be com-
pletely dMnfeeted. Other effective means may be known
to the Lords of the Council, and it information is ibis sub-
ject is given to the public, and the inspectors of cattle are
authorised, when necessary, to supply the means of the.
roughly disinfecting the camases at the place of death,
there seems no doubt that they may be thoroughly and
I safely disposal of without providing special places for suck
purpose. Should the owners of carouses of diseased animals
refuse to obey the direction of the inspectors as to their
disposal, Sir George Grey would suggest that application
should be made to the inspector of noisiness of the district,
or to the police, in order that the provisions of the Nua
sums Removal Act may be put in force under the super-
vialce of the local authorities."
The Clumsier said it was quite clear the government
