(a) By section 2, "The Justice or other person authorized to make the proclamation shall, amongst the said rioters, or as near to them as he can safely come, with a loud voice command silence to be kept whilst proclamation is making; and after that shall, with a loud voice, make proclamation with these words, or like in effect: Our Sovereign Lord the King chargeth and commandeth all persons being assembled immediately to disperse themselves and peaceably to depart to their habitations, or to their lawful business, upon the pains contained in the Act made in the twenty-seventh year of King George the Third, to prevent tumultuous risings and assemblies.""

The Magistrate should read the proclamation correctly. For "Our Sovereign Lord the King," he may substitute "Sovereign Lady the Queen."

(a) Prostitutes.-Open lewdness, grossly scandalous, is an indictable offence, punishable by fine and imprisonment.-1 Hawk., C. 5; 1 East., P. C. 3; and see also "Sureties for Good Behaviour."

(b) Public Health Act.-Remedial and restrictive laws dealt with some of the subjects in above Act from a very early date in England. It has been pointed out in a work on the subject by Bazalgette and Humphreys that the Court rolls of Stratford-on-Avon show that in 1552 Shakespeare's father was fined for depositing filth in the public street in violation of the by-laws of the Manor; and again, in 1558, for not keeping his gutter clean.
