STATE OF THE STREETS IN CAPE TOWN
On our own responsibility, from personal observation this (Friday) morning April 17th 1840, we pronounce the state of the wide streets, of Long-street for instance, discreditable to the Governor, the Colonial Secretary, the Superintendent of Police or persons whose business it is to watch over the welfare of this Town. The Streets (of the Lanes we have often spoken) – the wide streets of Cape Town are studded from end to end with heaps of putrid and putrefying filth, while a direful epidemic is raging amongst the Inhabitants. This, on the authority of nose and eyes, we affirm. And we hereby charge all the parties above named, and all others referred to as much as if they were here named, with gross and culpable neglect of duty. And we call upon the inhabitants to interfere forthwith, and to provide for their own safety thus grossly and culpably neglected by the constituted authorities. Let them call a meeting of the Householders, vote a voluntary tax or contribution, elect Honorary Conservators of Public Cleanliness – and signify by memorial to the Home Government their opinion of the present Local Administration. From this our readers will clearly see that our patience is exhausted. We hope theirs is so too.

STATE OF THE EPIDEMIC
The Small Pox epidemic still prevails throughout the Town and it seems to have penetrated into most of the country districts. Small Pox, it should be recollected, under proper preparation and proper treatment, is not a very dangerous disease. Thousands pass through it without being confined to bed, or even to their apartments, for a single day. But gross living, filthy habitations and foul air render it one of the fiercest scourges with which our race is chastised.
From these causes chiefly, the deaths in Cape Town have been numerous; and consequently we may hope that they will rapidly decrease under the purifying process now going forward. To this purifying process all should lend their assistance. Every nuisance should be reported – and we think we can promise that every reported nuisance will be abated.
We may call the attention of proprietors of houses to a nuisance which they will probably be called upon to abate, and towards which they may take some steps more convenient for themselves than that of waiting for the besom of authority. We mean the letting of cellars and similar caverns for human habitations, that have neither chimney, back-yard nor drain.
RELIEF OF THE DESTITUTE SICK
A considerable sum has been subscribed for the Relief of the Destitute Sick, and a Meeting of the Subscribers will be held on Thursday at 12 o’clock in the Commercial Hall, to determine on the mode of applying it. The Epidemic will probably, or rather certainly, leave a great number of orphans and other destitute creatures for whom some provision should be made. Perhaps some part of this fund may be applied to relief of urgent cases of this description.

PROSECUTION FOR LIBEL BY A CAFFER CHIEF
We give below from the Colonial Times, Graham’s Town, a report of the first instance in which a Caffer has applied to a Colonial Court for injury done to his character. Without anticipating the result of the application, we must express our opinion in favor of such a mode of proceeding. We feel surprise that many other Chiefs have not been advised long ago to seek redress in this civilised manner, instead of allowing resentment to rankle in their hearts till it led to open violence.
