brick drain removed, a new pipe drain laid down, and the
urinal in the passage abolished.
Red Lion Yard, Union Street, No. 4. Here an untrapped
pipe, which brought dirty water into the yard,
and conveyed effluvia into the living rooms, has been
trapped.
Park Street, No. 87. This case offers one instance

about house drains, and the expediency of employing
competent persons to overlook them. Nos. 87
and 88, formerly drained through one outlet. The owner

Hence, after a time, the drains of No. 88 became surcharged,
and oozed up. The proper outlet has been
restored.
North Row, No. 36. Ten families of forty persons
live here over a coach factory. The roof was partially
leaky, and some of the rooms damp and dirty. They
have been cleansed and limewhited.
Dolphin Court, Oxford Street. A narrow court, containing
a population of about fifty persons in six houses;
drains through Nos. 5 and 6, Princes Street, Hanover
Square, into the sewer in Princes Street. One drain was
choked up, and several inlets untrapped, which have been
attended to properly by the Inspector.
Hill Street Stables, Nos. 20a and 20b. These stables,
inhabited by coachmen and their families, being without
