DISSOLUTION OF THE MANSION-HOUSE
COMMITTEE:

A meeting of the sub-committee of- the Sanatorium Com-
mittee of the Corporation of London was held yesterday
afternoon, at 3 o'clock, at the Mansion-house, for the pur-
pose of covsiciering what steps should be taken in reference
to the subject for which the committee had been appointed.
Among those present were—Mr. Oibbins (chairman), Dr.
Sarvis, Dr. Vinen, Mr. Burge, M.D., Mr. Brewster, Mr.
Maynard, Mr. Guenier, Mr. Game, &c.
Mr. Guns, the secretary, read a list of subscriptions, in
which it appeared that only a very small sum had been
subscribed since the last meethag. The total amount sub
scribed was about .£1,500.

Mr. GlumNs, the chairman, briefly called the attention
of the committee to the present position of affairs. They
had the permission of the Government for the establishment
of one sanatorium, and a sub-committee had been appointed
to visit two sites that had been offered for that purpose.
That sub-conimittee consisted of himself, Dr. Vinen, and
Dr. Sarvis, and they were unanimously of opinion that both
sites were utterly unfit for the intended purpose. They had
advertised for sites or buildings to be used as a sanatorium,
but no answers had been received, and, as they had heard,
the public did not appear at all to respond to their call for
subscriptions. Under these circumstances, it was for the
committee to consider what course should now be adopted.
(Hear. hear.)

Mr. BREWSTER said it appeared to him that although
they had no x been meeting for a considerable time they
were not a bit farther advanced towards the' object they
had in view than they were at first. and that they had been
completely baffled by the Government, or those who pro-
fessionally advised it in reference to this subject. (Hear,
hear.) Besides that they not obtained any assistance
from the public or the trees that were interested in the
ceived such large sums for
question. The brewers,
their grains, had not subscribed a farthing, and the results
Mrs
they appeared to have arrived at were, that instead of hav-
ing as they:proposed several large sanatoriums with proper
conveniences and accommodation for the treatment of the
diseased
eim
theywere only to be permitted to have one
all ri that would accommodate 10 or 12 cattle,
which would be quitelnadequate for the intended object,
s msanea attotl
In fact, they were merely to carry out the ideas of other
people, instead of their own—(hear, hear)—and it appeared
to him that they would not be acting fairly or justly to the
Corporation, or to the citizens of London, if they continued
to go on any longer under these circumstances. (Hear.)
The Corporation had at once consented to give a noble sum
in aid of the important public object that was sought to be
attained, in the expectation, no doubt, that their example
would be followed not only by those trades that were spe-
cially interested, but also by the public at large, but in this
expectation they had been entirely disappointed. He still
entertained the opinion that the cattle plague was curable,
and that very important results would have followed if the
principle of having sanatoriums had been fairly carried
out ; but it was ridiculous to suppose that any good result
could have been obtained by only having space for the
treatment of a small number—like 10 or 12 cattle—and the
experiment would not have had anything like a fair chance
of success. Every attempt had been made to baffle the com-
mittee in their proceedings, and he could not refrain from
expressing his opinion that Professor Simonds had done
a great deal of mischief by having the ear of the Govern-
ment. (Hear, hear.) In the first instance he had de-
clared that the disease was not the rinderpest when it first
made its appearance. and had allowed diseased cattle to be
sent to market, and had thus been the means of spreading
the plague in all directions. He now also said that the same
malady had attacked the sheep, although almost every me-
dical man and every veterinary surgeon declared that they
did not believe this to be possible. (Hear, hear.) This being
the present state of things, it appeared to him that it would
be useless to proceed any farther, and that the best course
would be to return the money that had been subscribed,
and leave the responsibility upon the Government, who had
so pertinaciucsly opposed their proceedings. (Hear, hear.)
He proposed a resolution to that effect.
Dr. SARVIS seconded the resolution, and in doing so he
said that the committee had worked hard, and bad done all
they could to carry out the object for which they were ap-
pointed, and L was not from want of will that they had not
succeeded, but from the obstacles that were thrown in their
way in higher quarters. (Hear.) He agreed with Mr.
Brewster that the establishment of a small sanatorium such
as the one suggested by the Government, and to which alone
it would give its sanction, was not likely to be attended
with any good effect. He believed if their original plan had
been carried out it would have been successful. At present
he looked with son.) t du:. probable ,-,anaocia.nnes of
the present state of things, as ho believed that before long
meat would be at a famine price, and ho need hardly add
that the labouring poor would necessarily be terrible suf-
ferers. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. GIBBONS, the chairman, said he quite concurred in
the observations that had been made by the previous
speakers with, regard to the position of the committee, and
although ho deeply regretted it he had almost thought of
proposing a resolution of the same character as that which
had been proposed by Mr. Brewster. (Hear, hear.) He
did not see why the committee should waste their time in
carrying out what they believed would be for the benefit of
the public, when the Government opposed them at every
step, and the public did not seem to take any interest in the
matter. (Hear.) As an instance of the difficulties they had
to contend with he would inform them that only on the
previous day five diseased cows, the property of Lord Gran-
ville, the President of the Council, were,sent from his sheds
to the cattle-market to be slaughtered.
Mr. BREWSTER interposed—And without any certificate.
Mr. GIBBINS said he was informed that a certificate had
been sent with them, but this turned out not to be the case.
What he wished to call the attention of the committee to,
however, was the fact that those diseased cattle were driven
through the public streets to the market, when the Lords of
the Privy Council would not permit them to have the privi-
lege of removing diseased cattle to a sanatorium for the pur-
pose of an attempt being made to cure them. (Hear.) He
did not suppose for a moment that Lord Granville was
aware of what had been done, but he thought it his duty to
mention the fact publicly. (Hear.)
Mr. GAME said he should cordially support the motion.
It appeared to him that the Corporation of London had met
this calamity as they did every public calamity, in a noble
manner, but all their endeavours had been thwarted. He
thought the time had arrived when they ought to stop, and
throw the responsibility on the Government, and it appeared
to him that if they proceeded any further under existing
circumstances, they would only bring ridicule and odium
upon themselves. (Hear.)
Mr. GIBBINS said he thought it right to explain that when
they referred to the Government, the observation rather
applied to those who advised it in this matter than to the
Government itself. He felt bound to say that in all the in-
terviews he and the committee had lead with the Lords of
the:Privy Council they had been listened to with the utmost
attention and courtesy, and upon one occasion Lord Granville
had acceded to a suggestion of the committee in opposition
to the advice of Professor Simonds.
Some discussion then ensued as to the terms of the pro-
posed resolution, and eventually it was opposed in the fol-
, lowing form :

" That the sub-committee do report to the general com-
mittee that in consequence of unexpected and insuperable
difficulties that have been thrown in the way of their car-
rying out the purpose for which they wore appointed, they
recommend that the money that has been received be re-
turned to the subscribers, after deducting pro rata the
amount paid for necessary expenses."
This resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. BURGE then proposed, and Dr. SARVIS seconded, a
cordial resolution of thanks to Mr. Gibbins for his zealous
services as chairman of the committee, which was carried
unanimously, and the committee adjourned.

which the appeal was made, and concluded by moving its
adoption.
Mr. JORDAN having seconded the motion, it was unani-
mously adopted.
The other business transacted was chiefly of a detail
character, and related to the mode in which the fund should
be raised, the chairman stating that the subscription lists
had been printed, some of which had been sent out, and
others could be distributed through the medium of those
who attended the present meeting. Several of the lists
which had been sent out had been placed in publichouses,
and he had himself that morning seen the landlord of one
of the houses in which a list was placed, subscribe a gui-
nea to it, and a gentleman who happened to be in the house
at the time did the same. Ho had no doubt that if
proper exertions were used to obtain subscriptions, that
they would be forthcoming.
Subscription lists were accordingly distributed among
those present, to be distributed by them and placed in pub-
lie-houses and other places where subscriptions could be
obtained.

The following districts were represented at the meet-
ing:—Hackney, South Hackney, West Hackney, South
Hornsey, Daiston, Highbury, Islington, Huston, Balls
Pond, Stoke Newington, and Kingsland.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.
