The 198th Section of the Act provides that the Account in Abstract and summary Statement for the preceding year, together with a copy of the Report of the Officer of Health during the preceding year, and a list of the names and addresses of the Members of the Board, and of their Officers, shall be furnished with this Report; the Appendices, containing such information, are therefore hereto annexed, and marked respectively A, B, C. 19th June, 1857. Signed by order of the Board. SAMUEL HUGHES, Chairman.
