HONGKONG SANITARY BOARD. A meeting of the Hongkong Sanitary Board was held yesterday afternoon, the Hon. F. H. May bing in the chair. There were also present Lieut. Colonel Hughes, Dr. Holl (Acting Principal Civil Medical Officer), Mr. Browin (Registrar General) Mr. E. Osborne, Dr. Clark (Medical Offer of Health), Mr. Fung Wa Chuan, and Mr. G. A. Woodcock (Becretary),
DUMPING INPANTS OUTSIDE CONVENTË. The Secretary read an extract from His Ex- cellency the Governor's minats, dated 7th inst on the subject of the damping of moribund infauts outside the doors of convents. His Excellency wrote: There might be a com- pulsory registration of infants received and a death certificate, involving a further increase of the medical staff."
Mr. Hrewin minuto-"I believe that some time before 1891 this question attracted the attention of the Sanitary Department, and s committee reported on it. Can the report he found, and attached to these papers?
The SECRETARY stated that he had made search for the report which had been referred to in Mr. Browin's miante but had been unable
-to
find it.
(4) That the conventa be required to keep a register of all infants received by them, and to obtain a mach information as possible con- coruing them.
(5) That the bodies of all persons dying in the conventa be removed to the public mortuary for medical examination.
Dr. BELL remarked that there was a great difficulty about defining midwives. What was midwife in China? Dil they consider. any. body who came along and look out a rtificate midwife! Immediately they sanotionel that kind of thing they would constantly come Beroes cases in which there ware some trouble, as those people had no training, and when they happened to be prosecuted, and they got into the box, and said "We did our best," there would be no result. The trouble was to define a midwife, for they had no place to train them in Hongkong. Some cases which had come under his notice were toe awful for words. That was tas trouble in England, how to define such women. Once choy icanced people of that sort, the so-called midwives would ran about and do as they liked, saying they had their licence to do it-it would not benefit the Chinese, as far as midwifery was concerned.
Dr. CLARK thought that question did not arise. Whether they called them midwives or nurses, ho did not care. Any person who attended in nay shape or form upon any other person within ten days from childbirth would be able to give them additional information. They did not want to recognise midwives who hail no training; they were thinking of the infants after they were born.
Mr. BREWIN-Why ust make the mother and father responsible? Dr. CLABH-We do!

"That was no new theory as to the cansation of phthisis by overcrowding on shipboard, for precisely the same conditions prevailed in the old mercantile marine, and the saine results followed, and it was only of recent years that the improved sanitary condition of the fore. castles of merchant ships had led to a reduction in the mortality from phthisis among the sailers.
He (Dr. Clark) therefore submitted (1) That phthisis is Intimately associated with overcrowding and insanitary conditions.
(2) That the greater amount of phthisis among the boat population than among the land population is occasioned by the greater degree of overwowiling to which they are ab jected at night,

the law of the Colony to put a dead body at the door of a couvent, or anywhere in the public streets, and at the present time there were a number of their gallant defenders assisting goodness knows how many police to prevent that being done. And, not- withstanding that, there they were, with the full knowledge that it was being done, looking on smiling at it. He did not see why they should de so. There was law against any person removing a doud infant from a homes, and it was also an offence against the law tó deposit a dead body in the street. He moved that the resolutions be referred to a ambitiisas consisting of Drs. Bell and Clark, and Mr. Fing Wa
Chea. The ta being seconded, was put to the Bar, and etrri, Mr. BREWIN adding that inelius.ich might be given to the sub-com- uittee to find out what steps the Government were taking to deal with the question, for Dr. Hartigan ind stated that he had some yearTH ago funished a report to the Government on the whole question.
Dr. ÜLEK said he should like to say with reference to the question of dumping dead bodies in the streets, or placing infants out. side the doors of convents, that it seemed to him, in the first place, they wanted the better carrying out of their existing laws, last year there wern 1,378 deaths of infauts under one year old, and there wore 878 Birtles registered. That, of course, ignoring altogether the children who happened to survive for a longer period than one year, showed that at least many of the births which occurred within the solesy were not registered at all, and he thought they should take some steps to ensure a better and more perfect registration of infants, be cause it stood to reston that if they knew of the existence of those infants, they would be in a better position to protect their lives than they were at the present, moment. Thus was one point he wanted them to consider. Then there was the question of the registration of infants, and from that followed the supervi sion of the little ones after birth, instead of waiting till they reached the convents. La his opinion they wanted to have what he himselt felt inclined to call "Female Visitors," very much in the same way as they had female Sanitary Inspectors, who would go round to the homes of the poorer Chinose and exercise some sort of supervision over them. Thoso visitors could so that the births were re gistered, and look ent that the law was fully earrist out in that respect. He thought that respectable young Portuguese women, or womGu of other nationalities, could do the work.
