The proposals were accepted, as likely to remove the insanitary
conditions complained of, and render the dwellings fit for occupation.
The works were completed, and the cottages reoccupied in

respecting seven two-roomed cottages situated in a narrow court,
known as Queen's Court.

The Medical Officer of Health presented his report, as follows:—
To the Chairman and Members of the Public Health Committee,
being the Sanitary Authority for the District of Hackney.
Gentlemen,—
I beg to report to you, in pursuance of Section 32 of the
Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890, that on the 30th day of
May last I inspected the dwelling-houses situate at and known as
Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, Queen's Court, Well Street.
I found such dwelling-houses to be in the state hereinafter set
forth, which, in my opinion, is so dangerous or injurious to health
that the said houses are unfit for human habitation.
