Stafford Row, No. 19. A defective state of the rain
water-pipe. A new pipe has been erected.
Eccleston Place, No. 46. Obstructed drains, which

Elizabeth Street South, No. 25. A complaint was

nine-inch pipe.

decomposition. It appeared that a man had been in the

which constituted one property. The case having been
