Drainage Cases.
Shepherds-market, Nos. 16, 17, 18, and 19. Here is a
case of combined drainage. These houses discharge their
sewage by one drain, which had become obstructed at
No. 18. After examination it was repaired, being of
good construction, and allowed to remain.
Brown-street, No. 16. A similar case. The drain of
No. 3, George-yard passes through this house, and became
obstructed, creating a nuisance. We induced the
owner to shut up the kitchen, as unfit for human habitation.
