In all these cases notices were issued and overcrowding was
abated. As in Bastwick Street, some of the cases were extreme.
Registration of tenement houses and house to house inspection,
with occasional night inspections, and as strict an enforcement of
the Public Health (London) Act as is equitable and practicable,
seem the two chief means for reducing this evil of overcrowdiug.
