complained of nausea and vomiting arising from the
effluvium of the cow-yard. Thirteen cows were found in
the yard. One shed containing twelve cows, six in a row,
was 24 feet long, and 17 wide, and 8 feet high, whereas
the magistrate, Mr. Paynter, in the case of Hatt's cowyard,
recommended the width of the shed to be 25 feet,
where there are two rows of cows. Dr. Aldis reported
the ventilation as insufficient, the shed too small for the
number of cows, and recommended that they should be
reduced. The occupier then submitted a plan of alterations
to the Nuisances Removal Committee, and the result
is, that the shed has been reconstructed, and is 24 feet
wide. The number of cows has been reduced to eight,
the shed has been newly paved, better ventilated, properly
drained and trapped, and 7 feet 4 inches allowed for each
pair of cows. The dung-pit has also been newly drained
and cemented.
