SANITARY STATE OF ISLINGTON_- paragraph having
lately appeared in the Builder, representing tha condi-
tion of several parts of the parish of Islington, parti-
cularly the courts near the Angel, to be most deplorable
for want of proper sanitary measures, I am directed
by the trustees to inform you, that they have been
anxiously engaged in endeavouring to remedy the evils
complained of, and have already succeeded in removing,
or greatly ameliorating, some of them, and that the
exertions of the Board of Trustees, in the -proQpect
and during the continuance of the present outbreak of
cholera, have been properly appreciated by the Board
of Health, who, through their president, Sir Benjamin
Hall, have declared that in no parish, in or near
London, have sanitary measures been s• fully and satis-
factorily carried out as in the parish of St. Mary, 'sling.
