undertaking to provide the whole of the boilers
with the same make of smoke-consuming arrangement
which had been experimentally tried on
one furnace.
On the 27th September, 1900, the Manager
of the Cold Air Stores, Leadenhall Market, was
summoned at the Mansion House Justice Room
for causing a smoke nuisance at the premises
under his charge. The case being fully proved,
the Court made an order for the abatement of
the nuisance within seven days, and imposed ten
shillings costs.
