MANCHESTER HEALTH COMMITTEE.—Some complaints having 
been made with regard to the action of some of the sanitary 
inspectors of the Manchester Corporation in the removal of infec- 
tious cases to hospital, the Manchester Medico-Ethical Association 
appointed a deputation to confer with the Health Committee on 
the subject. The deputation met the Health Committee on April

following suggestion of the deputation should be adopted, viz., 
“That in future no case of infectious disease should be removed 
to hospital unless such removal be certified as advisable by the 
practitioner in attendance.”—British Medical Journal.
