"There shall be transferred to every urban and rural district council the business of the board of guardians under section one hundred and fifty of the Public Health Act, 1878 (which relates to the execution of the regulations made when Ireland appears to be threatened by any formidable epidemic, endemic, or infectious disease), or under any enactment amending or extending that section, and section three of the Epidemic and other Diseases Prevention Act, 1883, shall be repealed."—(The Lord Chancellor of Ireland.)

*THE LORD CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND

This is a new clause, and it is consequential to that part of the Bill which transfers sanitary powers to the district council, and other powers of a kindred character, which should have been included in the Bill.
