    32 employment of the apparatus in the testing room at the Vestry Hall. The Company readily complied with the request of your Vestry, and have during the current year supplied the information asked for. The Gas has also been periodically tested at the Vestry Hall, on an average two or three times a week. The result hitherto has shown no very wide discrepancy between Mr. Valentin's returns and my own, the Gas having been on nearly all occasions above the required standard of 20 candles. In conclusion, I beg to refer to the Surveyor's Report for par ticulars of the sewers built, ventilated, cleansed and flushed, and the number of houses drained, and new gullies made, during the year. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, T. ORME DUDFIELD, M.D , Medical Officer of Health. Vestry Hall, Kensington, June, 1872.
