Magisterial
Proceedings.
Eleven summonses were issued in connection
with nuisances, and of these five were withdrawn, the
necessary work having been carried out, two were dismissed;
and, in the remaining four, the magistrate made
orders for the work to be carried out.
Eleven summonses were issued for infringements of
Bye-laws, in seven cases the work was carried out and
the summonses were withdrawn, and in the others the
defendants were fined, two 5s. and costs, one 10s. and
costs, and the other £3 and costs respectively.
Two summonses were issued for exposing goods on the
Public Highway; they were withdrawn on the payment
of the costs.
The Inspectors have all discharged their duties, as
in previous years, entirely to my satisfaction.
