    I Report to the General Board of Health, on a further Inquiry as to the Boundaries which might be most advantageously adopted for Alereton, in the County of Derby, for the put - poses of tlie Public Health Act. By William Lf,h, Esq., C.E.. Superintending Inspector. Gwydyr House, December 11, 1850. My Lords and Gentlemen, Having on the 18th day of January last made a preli- minary inquiry, with a view to the application of the public Health Act to the parish of Alfreton, in the county of Derby, and having reported to you in writing upon the matters in respect ! of which I had been directed to inquire, and it appearing to you from the statements in such Report that, in case the said Act i should be applied to Alfreton, the boundaries which may be most - advantageously adopted for the purposes of the said Act are not the same as those of the said parish, and that for such purposes the most suitable boundaries w7ould be those of the township of Alfreton: and the Board, in further pursuance of the said Act, having directed me to visit the parts within the boundaries of the said township proposed by the said Heport to be adopted for the purposes of the said Act, and to hear all persons desirous of being heard before me upon the subject of the said Report;—it is my duty to state, that having given the notices required by the Public Health Act, I proceeded with such further inquiry on Tuesday, the 3rd instant, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, in the Magistrates' Room, in the George Inn, at the town of Alfreton. Mr. Samuel Bland, one of the Churchwardens of the parish, proved that he had duly affixed the public notices;—they had also been advertised in the county newspapers. After such preliminary observations as I thought right to make in explanation of the objects of this further inquiry, I heard all persons desirous of being heard before me upon the subject of the said Report, and especially as to the proposed boundaries of the district.
