in recent speech of his in the House Of
Commons: Z" In the union of which he was
the chairman there was q village at present
in Chancery which consisted of fourteen
houses. Last year there we're thirty casus
OF fever and eleven deaths, and from that
pestiiential spot it was perfectly notorious
that disease spread throughout the district.
A report was received from the sanitary
inspector OF the dreadful condition of the
population. The estate, as lie had already
mentioned, belonged to minors and was in
Chancery. They were not satisfied with
the report of the sanitary Inspector and
sent down their medical officer, who de-
scribed the houses. The rain poured in
through the roof, and the wretched inhabi.
tants lay on the wet floor, while disease
was raging through the whole village. The
guardians met and made q communication
TO the receiver, imploring him to do some
thing. The Master in Chancery, in his re.
ply, desired the guardians to state precise
" what they required him to do, aud aist
the name of the act of parliament under
which they called upon him to interior.
with tire property of the minors. The
guardians stated in answer that they dit
not ground they application under an,
particular act of parliament, but venturet
to appeal to his feelings of common I'm

condition of the poor suffering people. II.
