Davies-mews, No. 14. Stable, inhabited by man, wife,
and 5 children. No water-closet; nuisances created in
the Mews. A dispute as to which of several lessors and
sub-tenants was liable. Case heard at Marlborough-street,
31st May; adjourned to 13th June, when magistrate required
the owner, i. e. the present lessee, either to provide
proper water-closet, or to disuse the place as habitation.
Avery-row, No. 13a. Child ill with diphtheria; untrapped
sink in the room.
Offensive G-ullies have been trapped in Street's-buildings;
1 near 38, South Audley-street, and 1 in Chapelmews,
Robert-street.
The corner of Duke-street, Grosvenor-square. There
was some delay in this case, because it belongs to the
Parish of St. Mary-le-bone.
The old Sewer underneath Little Bruton-street. The effluvia
which escaped whilst this sewer was open for partial repair
during the hot weather in June, were a source of no
small danger to the inhabitants, and of anxiety to us. It
is well to put in record the fact, that can be vouched for,
of the speedy decomposition of fresh meat when exposed
to these effluvia, at the butcher's shop in the street, and
the tarnishing of polished metal work at Mr. Glenton's.
It is earnestly to be desired that this old sewer may be
replaced by one which admits of no accumulations.
Dangerous Structures referred to Police.
Party-wall between 12 and 13, Lancashire-court, very
dangerous.
"Castle" Public House, Shepherd's-court, Upper Brookstreet.
