public-house, and Nos. 8 and 9, Mount-row, drained through
an old obstructed sewer, connected with which was a very
large cesspool in the cellar of the public-house.
Hanover-place.—A case of cholera was reported at No. 2,
so that a regular raid was made upon every house, and a
notice served requiring limewhiting of all yards, areas and
basements, trapping of sinks, &c. A summons was taken
out on August 22nd and fixed for hearing on August 30th,
but when we came to the court, there was no defendant, for
the summons had been lost by the summoning oflicer, so that
another was taken out for the 6th September, by which
time all cleansing and repairs had been finished.
No. 99, Davies-street.—The yard behind the house dirty
and offensive from overflow of sewage water and from the filth
occasioned by keeping rabbits. A summons taken out was
heard on Sept. 6th, when the magistrate granted an order,
which was obeyed, and the work done and costs paid.
Overcrowding.—At No. 30, Grosvenor-mews, three generations,
consisting of seven persons—viz., a woman, five
children, and the infant of one of the daughters—slept in a
space of about 1200 feet. This was put a stop to.
Dolphin-court.—This very close court, occupied by five
houses, was rendered unwholesome by a urinal at the entrance.
This has been abolished, a door put to keep out
intruders, and the court newly paved.
Yard behind Nos. 3 and 4, Upper Belgrave-terrace.—
Overflow of soil from a cesspool, oozing into the workshops
from the adjoining premises in Robert's-buildings, Eburysquare.
A notice was served on June 15, and the cesspool
emptied and filled up.
Nos. 1 to 14, Robert's-buildings, Ebury-sqnare.—Each
house has been whitewashed and cleansed throughout, the
water butts cleansed, and the yards limewashed.
Messrs. Gates' Stable-yard, behind No. 5, Halkin-street
