yard. This house was properly drained by 6-inch pipe
drains into the sewer, a new water-closet was properly
erected, trapped, and cistern put over the closet, almost nine

The smell complained of is caused by the neglected state
of the closet and the back yard. The back yard and lower
part of the house have been limewhited.
Pembroke Place, Vauxhall Bridge Road, Nos. 22 and 23.
The basements are flooded with stagnant water, 6 inches in
depth, and smell offensively. A notice was served on March
4th, and the drains have been cleansed.
Warwick Street, Pimlico, No. 15. The drainage through
the house is choked up, which is caused by the defective
state of the drains at No. 14, adjoining premises, the drains
of the two houses being connected. No. 15 has been
drained, and the drains of No. 14 cleansed.
Sadler's Yard, Ranelagh Road. This place was visited
on Friday, February 4th, in consequence of a complaint of a
nuisance arising from dust. The open space was filled with
an immense quantity of house refuse, containing vegetable
matter, which men were engaged in sifting. In fact, the
spot was converted into a large lay stall, containing all the
house refuse brought from the houses in South Belgravia,
but the yard has only been lately used for such a purpose.
A notice was served, and several hundred loads of refuse have
been removed.
