tained at this establishment, it became very essential that
the milk should be of proper quality. The house committee
therefore subsequently resolved, that the person
who had hitherto supplied the milk should not be permitted
to do so any longer.
On July 16th, 1857, the writer saw some samples of
bread tested, which were purchased at Messrs. Jones's,
Eccleston Street, and Price's, Ebury Street, and found to
be genuine, while that purchased at another baker's in
determined 5.12 grains of alum in the pound.
The last person, on being cautioned against selling such
bread in future, did not deny the adulteration, but thought
that the alum was sold to him mixed with the flour.
Two gullies opposite to No. 1, Grosvenor Place, have
been trapped.
Roberts Buildings, Ebury Square, No. 1. This house
presented a most filthy appearance. It was dirty throughout,
the drains obstructed, and there was no dust pit. It
is a small six-roomed house, which contained a family in
each room,—altogether 28 inmates—so that it was overcrowded.
The paper of the rooms was tattered and
loaded with vermin. The walls of the wash-house were so
dangerous, that they vibrated readily with slight pressure
of the hand. The house has been cleansed and repaired
throughout, and the number of inmates reduced.
West Street, Commercial Road, No. 10. The attention
of Dr. Aldis was directed to the nuisance here through
having visited three children, suffering from measles, one
of which was in a typhoid state. The effluvium was
caused by an untrapped gully in the yard, and the drain
round the rain-water pipe being in a defective state.
The drain has been repaired, and the gully trapped.
Moreton Street, the Globe Coffee House, No. 23. The
drains have been cleansed and repaired.
