Drainage Cases.
Carrington-place, No. 3. A stable utterly without
drainage for the horses, or for the family that lives there.
Most disgusting slops thrown on to the surface of the
street to evaporate under the sun. Pipe-drainage constructed.
Hertford-mews, May-fair, No. 14. A stable, similarly
occupied, without water-closet. Disused as a dwelling
habitation.
Barlow-mews, No. 14. The only undrained stable left
in the mews. (See Report, No. XII. p 12.) Disused as
a dwelling.
Dover-street, No. 9. A great nuisance occasioned by
a brick shaft conveying the drainage of No. 8, Doverstreet,
and No. 47, Albemarle-street, adjoining. The
shaft abolished, and each house drained separately afresh.
Park-lane, No. 6. (See Report, No. X., p. 22.)
Three stables newly drained by pipes, and inlets trapped.
Trafalgar Stables, Mount-street. This case was brought
before the committee three years ago, but postponed in
consequence of the enormous expense. The liquid manure
from 100 horses, once received in cesspools, and allowed to
soak into the gravel, is now carried by two main pipedrains
into the sewer in Adam's-mews.
Davies-street, No. 71. Made unwholesome by a dilapidated
water-closet at 28, South Molton-street, adjoining.
A new closet and cistern erected, and the wall repaired.
Dover-street, No. 14, and Nos. 41 and 42, Albemarlestreet.
Three houses poisoned by overflowings of large
cesspools in the rear of the latter two. Cesspools
abolished, and pipes laid down.
