A letter was read at the meeting of the Sanitary Board yesterday from the Colonial Secretary relative to the closing of Chinese Theatres. The letter stated that His Excellency hoped that on further consideration the Board would agree that in time of epidemic it was not well, if it could be avoided, to deprive the people of amusements. On the motions of Mr Pollock the Board decided to adhere to its original recommendation – to close the theatres during the presence of plague.
