tuted by the Board of Trade, wee commenced at the Green-
wich Police Court, before Mr. Trull, the sitting ma.

In 18.53, Dr. Challice, medical officer of health,
wrote with confidence eta the future health of the IIer•
niondsey distrait. With improved drainage, courts and
alleys well paved, the dwellings of the poor deemed, a•s-
pools abolished, graveyards clawed, noxious trade nulaancies
=pyramid and prevented, a better supply of water obtained,
and baths and washbouses for the working classes established,
theism, be believed, would be checked and mortality be
diminished. Such has been the result. Since then the local
authorities have, without flinching (at great cost), connected
their eflets with most praiseworthy energy. " Their re-
ward is," writes Dr. Chsllice, " that, instead of being a focus
for dime= Bermondsey is now one of the healthiest of the
metropolitan districts. I mike this statement with confi-
dence, and pledge my reputation as officer of health for its
correctness. In cosirm►tion of it, see nip last repot to the
Mary, booed oa the returns of the Registrar- Depend. It
will act se a stimulant to some and a challenge to others who
RIO now at osaitory science."

Bir W. Napier concludes a letter to a cotemporary

Teak, wy eigretsue will be is suture, W. Nspiar, °newel."
