THE TOOTING DISORDER

Although the reports from Tooting yesterday describe
the disease of cholera, so far as Mr. Drouet's establish-
ment is concerned, entirely to have subsided, it is to be
regretted that such is not the case with regard to some
of the children who have been removed from Tooting.
It appears that the cholera has again made its appear-
ance in a malignant form amongst the children removed
from Tooting to St. Pancras Workhouse. When Dr.
Arthur Ferro and Mr. Grainger, the two medical super-
intendents of the Board of Health, visited St. Pancras
Workhouse on Saturday night, there were only one or
two cases, and a very few cases of low fever in the
cholera wards. The children who had been removed
all underwent examination by the medical superinten-
dents of the Board of Health, and in no fresh cast.
' were the premonitory symptoms detected. On Sunday
night, however, a ♦ery considerable change in the
state of affairs took place, as will be seen by the follow.
ing official report, issued yesterday by Mr. Bird, the
medical gentleman specially appointed by the directors
of the poor of St. Pancras to attend the children since
their arrival from Tooting.
" Temporary Hospital, St. Pancras, Jan. 22, 1842.
" I regret having to make an unfavourable report to-
, day, especially as everything appeared progressing so
well. Yesterday (Monday) evening, however, one of
the boys was seized with cholera most severely. During
the night six more boys were taken up to the infirmary
with low fever, and this morning one of the girls also,
severely attacked with cholera. These two cases of
cholera are in a state of collapse. One of the two chil-
dren I have previously reported as in a dangerous con-
Lion died last evening, at eight o'clock, the duration of
attack being nine days.

In addition to the investigation being pursued by the
Board of Health, as to the condition of the children in
every establishment to which they have been removed
from Tooting, it appears that up to yesterday the Poor
law Board had also determined on an official inquiry.
I❑ consequence, however, of the rigid proceedings in•
stituted by the Coroner for Middlesex, the Poor-law
Board have now altered their determination, and have
resolved to suspend their inquiry until alter Parliament
meets, and the opinion of the Legislature has been taken
in the matter.

The children now in the Holborn and Strand Unions
are reported as going on favourably, but it must be re-
marked, that not only is roast beef and mutton given
them every day for dinner, but even wine and other
stimulants are administered, to sustain the stamina of the
children.
