Subject Matter: Letter advising that the Woolwich Local Board of Health, having out of the funds raised by rates under the Local Government Act 1858, have presented the sum of £10 10s 0d to the Metropolis Gas Committee of Enquiry, to aid in opposing a Bill about to be brought forward in Parliament.
