Impressment Of Chickens.


We are informed that there are persons visit
ing the farm houses Of the country and impress-
ing chickens fer Hospital use.
Whilst the sick Of the Hospitals require every
thing that may. contribute to their comfort, We
know Of no General Orders giving such. permits
sion to the agents Of hospitals who are sent out
to purchase supplies. Without knowing it GER
tainly, we will take the responsibility Of saying
that the Surgeons in charge Of the Hospitals in
this place, give no such authority, as they have
none, and if poultry is impressed the sick never
sec or taste it
These fellows are impressing upon 'ttheir own
hook" and it would be well for farmers to de-
mand their authority. Report sill such cutrages
! to the proper authorities.
Inmates Of Hospitals in this place, upon Sc
veral occasions, have gone into the yards and
gardens Of citizens and killed their chickens. Is
there NO corrective for these abuses!
