    APPENDIX No. VII. Additional information supplied by Mr. F. W. Dimbleby at the request of the Committee. (Q. 320 and 324). I have now ascertained that the fees paid to Public Vaccinators in the Richmond Union were decided upon by the Guardians on March 9th, 1899, as follows:—Under Article 3 (a), 2s. 3d.; (b), 6s. 9d.; (c), 2s.
