Were the instructions, referred to by Mr. Carter in his ninate dated 5th July, given by the Medical Officer of Heath, who, as the adviser to the Board, and as one of the chief executive offices for the enforce- ment of the Ordinance, appears to have been ignored in the matter?

As in this instance he admits he might not have examined all the houses in question, so, it may be presumed that in some other instances he might not have examined at all, but simply signed the certifi cale as he thought fit.
