There can be no objection to the promptest removal from the Colony of all plague patients provided that they go far enough away (20 miles was the limit fixed by the Medical Commission that sat last year), that the chairs, boats, and other conveyances they use are care- fully. disinfectet and that the authorities have notice of the case so as to take all proper precautions_against the spread o the Infection among the relatives and neighbours of the sick. But without those precautions it would be folly to allow the indiscriminate departure of the sick.

The Government would lose all

count and have no means of judging of the true progress of the disease, and every patient who went away would leave behind him in his dwelling, or deposit during his transit, the fatal taint of the disease.
