in St. George's-row had been repaired and white-washed, the
drains of some of them cleansed and repaired, and the waterbutts
cleansed. Twelve of the houses in St. George's-place
were shut up, and will not be let again.
Bakehouses in Grillingham-street, Upper Tachbrook-street,
and Hindon-street.—Two were lime-whited, and one was

The kitchens at No. 4 were occupied by a man,
his wife, and four children. The wife was found by Dr.

back kitchen, which was close to an open drain. He gave a
