THE CASE AGAINHT BERNARD ZORUS,
The Attorney-General said there was the case against Bernard Joras. It was the first case in the calendar. His learned friend Mr. Slade appeared for the defence. He thought they would have enough business to keep then all day and that it might be said that the caze would not be taken that day. Hu could not say much more at present, but he would release his learned friend until to-morrow and release the man from being here to-day.

Of the recognised preventives against plagno, disinfection has been practically the only one on which reliance has been placed in Calcutta. The procedure throughout has been to disin- feet every room in which either a case of ascer- taized plague or a case anspected to be plague has occurred. Thus, between January and Jan 1849, only 1.336 cases of ascertained plague were reported, but 4,750 promises
