by a gentleman in attendance upon a patient who suffered
from fever, and resided in Cutmore's Buildings. A very
great nuisance was alleged to have arisen from the grunting
of pigs, and a bad smell. The Medical Officer and Inspector
of Nuisances at once visited the premises, and found them
clean. The pigs are brought to be slaughtered, and are
sometimes kept for a night and day before being killed, but
none are retained on the premises for any other purpose.
The yard is swept every day, the slaughter-house kept clean,
and inspected three or four times every week.
Back Entrance to No. 39, Chapel Street. A quantity of
vegetable refuse causing an offensive smell. The nuisance
was abated, and occupier promised to remove the leaves daily
in future.
No. 40, Hindon Street. Bad smell from the front room
on the first floor, where three dogs were kept night and day.
The dogs have been removed.
Gullies in Warwick Street, opposite the Princess Royal
Public House, smell very offensive. The nuisance has been
remedied.
Nos. 1, 2, 3,4, Ebury Gardens. Water butts very dirty
and without covers, two gullies untrapped and no water to the
closets. A new cistern has been erected, the gullies trapped,
and water laid on to the closets.
No. 8, King Street, Pimlico. No water to the closet, no
cover to the water-butt, no dust-pit, and the gully untrapped.
A new ash-pit has been erected, water-butt covered, and water
supplied to the closet.
Eaton Yard, Westbourne Street. Bad smell from the cowsheds
and slaughter-house at the rear of 10 and 11, Westbourne
Place. The whole of this yard was drained by 9-inch pipes
into the sewer during the summer, 1856. The only thing
complained of was the recent introduction of four small ventilators,
which have been removed.
