HEALTH COMMIT

-The chairman stated that Mr

Mr. Hornby complained of no notice being taken of his
brother's complaint, that water had rushed into his
warehouses,. Goree. Mr. Nevvlands said that it was im-
possible to prevent, the nuisance for the present, as the
ground had been made, and the water had run from the
sewers, in consequence of the tide choking them up. The
_ _

new sewer proposed would prevent the nuisance.—The
inspector of nuisances reported a number of statistical
details respecting the registration of lodging-houses and
other matters, from which it appeared that 111 houses, in
28 streets, which had been examined, had been found to
remain still in a filthy and unhealthy state, and that the
keepers of 29 lodging-houses had been committed to the
Borough Gaol for the infrinzement of the laws for their
regulation. The owners of the unwholesome houses were
about to be summoned for not cleansing them pursuant
to notice.—The medical officer of health reported the de-
''ase of 27 deaths registered in the boroug' 'ler

_ the numt,
being 218 against 245 last week. The medical officers beg
to represent that, in case of cholera, becoming prevalent,
the hospital now set apart in Queen Anne-street would
be found to be placed at an inconvenient distance from the
locality where it is likely the malady will

prevail. On
_ .
Saturday last, a woman, who was removed from Henry
Edward-street in a state of collapse, died before reaching
the hospital. The subject was referred to the Select
Vestry. One death was reported to have taken place
from cholera.

onvcmuntß.—A meeting of the ratepayers took place
chair. Mr. Chaffers and Mr. itisliton were unanimously
chosen as overseers. The expenditure upon the roads had
been £836 19s. James Bourne, Esq., was appointed sur-
veyor of highways for the present year, and his attention
to the duties of the office was warmly eulogised.—A mo-
tion by Mr. Samuel Holme that the township should
adopt the road leading from Green Bank to Mossley-hill,
caused considerable discussion. Mr. Holme contended
that as this had been a public road for more than fifty
years it was unjust to the ratepayers who lived close to it
to keep the road in order, and at the same time contribute
their full quota to the general rates of the township ; that
the public enjoyed the full right of the road ; that it was
used by those going to Garston ; and that it was unrea-
sonable that a piece of 600 yards long should be left in
such a deplorable condition as to be positively dangerous.
Mr. William Rathbone bore testimony to its most dis-
creditable state, and offered £lO towards having it put in
order. It was ultimately arranged that Mr. Holme would
undertake to collect £l2O from the owners and occupiers
of property at Mossley-hill, and its vicinity ; and on that
sum being paid to Mr. Bourne, the road should be put in
proper condition by the township, toe estimated expense
being £2lO. The road in the village leading to Mr. Fen-
ton's chapel was adopted by the township. A proposition
was made, that the leading road through the village should
be sewered, but it was objected to by Mr. Picton and Mr.
Holme, that it would be unwise to do so until proper sur-
veys had been made, to ascertain what fall there was for
the drainage, and whether the main sewer could be carried
deep enough to drain the cellars. A committee was then
appointed to order the necessary surveys, and to report to
a special meeting.
