THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE) (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)

said, his right hon. and learned Friend had requested him to answer the Question. A Committee was at present sitting for the purpose of investigating M. Pasteur's system of treatment; and when they had concluded their labours their Report would be considered by the Government.
