It was thought necessary to call a special meeting of the
Nuisances Removal Committee, in reference to Hatt's cow-yard,
behind Ebury Street, in consequence of his having infringed the
magistrate's order, which limited him to keeping 90 cows, and
to ask the Committee to sanction an application for a penalty
for a contravention of the order of abatement, in accordance
with the 14th section of the Nuisances Removal Act.
The owner has been repeatedly cautioned to keep within
bounds by the Medical Officer and Inspector of Nuisances, Mr.
Grant, and every leniency exercised towards him before taking
further proceedings.
A short history of the case was then related, but as it is
recorded in the Annual Report, there will be no necessity for
repeating it here.
A return also of existing disease from the Pimlico Dispensary,
for the week ending June 19th, showed that 29 cases of
diarrhoea had occurred there, being an increase of 20 above
that of the previous week. Hatt's cow-yard is situated in the
district of this Dispensary, and on the Medical Officer
applying at that establishment a few days before the meeting,
it was ascertained that patients suffering from diarrhoea
were constantly coming from the immediate vicinity of the
cow-yard.
