The town is well lighted with gas, but it has a very bad supply of water, the whole of the springs being drained by the numerous Iron, and Coal mines. The population, including the Newtown, which is considered a portion of Bo'ness; is above 4000. There is about 400 Catholics, who have no place of worship here; but they go to Linlithgow, where there is a private hall hired by the Catholics, as a place of worship.
