Your Medical Officer of Health also attended the same
Court, on Aug. 26, to hear the result of a summons, taken
out by the police under Michael Angelo Taylor's Act, against
the keeper of pigs in Union Place, Chelsea, which, it was
alleged, had seriously affected the health of a family residing
in Belgrave Cottages. The defendant pleaded guilty, and
all the pigs were removed.
No. 6, Warrad's Court, Ebury Square. A notice was
served on the owner, in consequence of the front room on
the first floor being overcrowded by a man, his wife, and six
children. Moreover, the house was dirty, and No. 5 was
infected with small-pox. The family have removed, and
both houses have been whitewashed and cleansed.
