Neither the Govemment nor the Sanitary Board, nor the authors of the memorandum could possibly have had any reliable particulars from Ganton concerning plague, the only alleged source of information being the coffin shops. To be able to confine an epidemic of plague within any limits at all, supports Dr. Lowson's statement quoted in para. 16 of the memorandum.
