SANATORY REGULATIONS.

---
The Corporation of London are determined to adopt
the strongest measures to secure the observance of
sanatory regulations. In the Court of Aldermen held
some days ago, Sir James Duke made some observations
founded on the emphatic representations of Doctor
Lynch, in the Court of Common Council, on the state of
the lanes and alloys of the•extensive district of Furring-
don Without ward. The following letter was tra,nsinitte,l
by the clerk of the Commissioners of Sewers to Sir
James Duko, in consequence of the remarks made by
that Alderman, urging the necessity of making efforts
for the protection of public health:—
"Sewers-office, Guildhall, Jan. 15; 1847.

Sir,—l am directed by kr. Deputy Peacock, Chair-
man of the Commissioners of Sewers, to signify to you
that he has seen in the Times newspaper of Tuesday last,
a report of some observations made by you, in your place
in the Court of Aldermen, on the preceding day, refer-
ring to a presentment made by the inquest jury of St.
Dunstan,' relative to some old houses in Fetter lane, in
which you are made to state there was abundant me-
dical evidence to show that- the- densely crowded state
of the neighbourhood, and the want of sewage, produced
fevor to an alarming extent, to which the presentment

" The Chairman desires me to dray our attention to
the fact that within the last four years one the-Commis
sionors of Sewers have expended, about 26,0004 in the
construction of sewers in the wardoflfarringdon Without,
and that they are _proceeding: in. that work carefully and
steadily. They have reason to .believe that upon in-
quiry, but very few places in that ward.-will be found to
be without a sewer. But the Chairman directs me to
say that upon finding any such place, however remote,
in which a public sewer can 133 constructed, which at
present has it-not, if you will be good enough to attend
the Court, as a Comuiissioner, or otherwise print it out
to the Commissioners, their immediate attention will be
given to remedy the grievance as far as possible.
" I have tho honour to be, Sir, your very obedient
servant, ‘-JOSEPII DA W, Prin. Clerk."
The most firm hopes of a strong support of the efforts
of Governwelit to improve the health of the vast popu-
lation of the metropolis are entertained, in consequence
of the prompt attention paid by the Committee of Sewers
to the subje.3t of complaint.
