    The administration of the Poor Law Relief in the A.rea of Bedwellty Union was for the greater portion of the year, under the control of the Commisioners apix>inted by the Minister of Health. The general conditions in this portion of the County are by no means satisfactory, and there is a great deal of poverty pre- vailing. The Collieries and Works have well organised medical arrangements. The Royal Gwent Hospital at Newport, also tlie District Hospitals in the various areas are well patronised by the residents of +he County. VITAL STATISTICS.
