repaired throughout the house. The closet on the drawing-room
floor has been removed, and the nuisance abated.
Shop and Parlour in Allington Street, behind No. 4,
Brewer Street. This den, consisting of a shop opening
into a bed-room, was occupied by a costermonger and
his wife. The place was damp, dirty, and most offensive
from fish and decayed vegetable matter. The roof
of the shop consisted of boards, through which the rain
passed, and the ceiling of the bed-room was dilapidated.
These premises were connected with the house adjoining,
and should any infectious disease have occurred in them,
it might have spread extensively. The refuse was removed,
and the shop with the parlour closed, as the
Medical Officer thought them unfit for human habitation.
Warwick Street, Pimlico, No. 21. A quantity of
house refuse, which it was alleged the scavengers had
refused to take away; the house was infected with fever.
The rubbish has been removed.
Allington Street, Pimlico, No. 9. Two cases of smallpox
have occurred in this house, where the drainage was
in a defective state. As two other children had not been
vaccinated, the Medical Officer gave notice to the mother,
that unless the operation were soon performed, proceedings
would be taken. The house and drains have been
cleansed, and the children vaccinated.
Buckingham Place, Pimlico, No. 3. Defective state of
the drains under the kitchen, no cover to the dust-pit, no
bell to the trap in the yard, and the ceiling of the kitchen
is very dirty. A notice was served on April 30, and the
work is finished.
Waste Ground in front of Nell Gwynne Cottages,
Grosvenor Row, Pimlico. A large quantity of putrid fish,
which was immediately removed.
