cincts of the North Dublin Workhouse
It has been hanging round there since
MAY last. Sir Charles Cameron recently
drew the attention of the Guardians to

full whether the persistence OF the dis
ease was due to the proximity OF the
Harwicke Hospital, in which smallpox
patients are received, or tc continuance
of the infection in the house.
