22nd last, and counted 108 cows, being 18 more than
allowed by the magistrate's order dated March 7th, 1857.
Mr. Hatt then received a letter acquainting him that, unless
the cows were reduced to the number allowed by the magistrate,
a special meeting of the Nuisances Removal Committee
would be called. The meeting took place, and Dr. Aldis
was instructed to apply for a summons at the Westminster
police court. The case was subsequently heard by Mr.
Arnold and Mr. Paynter, who fined him for each cow beyond
the magistrate's order, with costs.
Mr. Paynter, in a communication to Dr. Aldis, said
that he had visited the premises, which were much improved,
and that Mr. Hatt might be allowed to keep six more cows,
in winter only; but this arrangement would be left entirely
to the local authority and the Medical Officer of Health.
He had already fined him and intended to be very severe in
any further transgression.
