    Report to the General Board of Health on a further Inquiry held in the Town of Whitstable, and the Parishes of Whitsta- BLE anc? Seasalter, in the County of Kent, consequent upon the proposed Alteration of Boundaries for the purposes of the Public Health Act, 1848. By Thomas Webster Rammell, Esq., Superintending Inspector. Gwydyr Hotise, Whitehall, January 22, 1850. My Lords and Gentlemen, An alteration in the existing boundaries having been recommended in my Report on a preliminary inquiry into the sanitary condition of the town and parish of Whitstable, in the county of Kent, your Honourable Board was pleased to direct me again to visit the parts, to make the further inquiry in such case required. It appeared from the statements contained in that Report, that, in case the Public Health Act should be applied to the town of Whit- stable, the boundaries which may be most advantageously adopted for the purposes of the Act are not the same as those of the parish of Whitstable, from which the petition for inquiry emanated, and that for such purpose it would be proper to exclude from the parish of Whitstable such parts of it as lie beyond the line marked red on the map accompanying the Report, and to add to the remainder such parts of the parish of Seasalter as lie within the red line as shown on the map, and which are more particularly referred to in the Report. In pursuance of the further directions of your Honourable Board, I caused the proper notice to be given of my intention to hold a public meeting at the Bear and Key inn, in the town of Whitstable, on the 7th January instant, when I should be pre- pared to hear all parties desirous of being heard before me upon the subject of the former Report. On proceeding to the appointed place I found present a very numerous attendance of ratepayers and other inhabitants, amongst whom were the Rev. R. J. Morris, Perpetual Curate of Whit- stable, and Vicar of Seasalter; Mr. Hyder, of Court Lees, one of the magistrates for the county; Messrs. Thos. Gann, William Holden, Stephen Kemp, George Clay, George Holden, Henry Holden, Thos. Reeves, James Reeves, William Amos, James [89.]
