On the 24th of December, last, I was summoned to attend at the
Thames Police Court to shew cause why the order made on the 22nd
of October, closing the premises 33 Stebondale Street as unfit for
human habitation, should not be rescinded. On your visiting the
premises, you found that the works necessary to render the premises
fit for human habitation had been executed to your satisfaction. I
therefore by your direction attended at the Court, and in response to
the owner's application, informed the presiding Magistrate (Mr.
Dickinson) there was no opposition, as the premises had been put
into a sanitary and habitable condition.
The order was consequently rescinded.
45 samples of food had been procured and submitted to the public
analyst for analysis. 3 were so adulterated, that legal proceedings
were ordered by the Clerk to the Board.
