Roman Catholic Schools, Smith's-place, Pimlico.—The
water-closets on the ground floor, with the pipes leading
from them, in a defective condition, and a quantity of sewage
matter in the vaults under the Schools. A notice was served
on April 13th, and the water-closets, with the pipes, have
been repaired, the sewage-matter removed from the vaults,
and lime thrown down.
No. 36, Hanover-street, Pimlico.—The drains of the watercloset
obstructed, and the yard flooded with sewage-water. A
notice was served on April 11th, and the drains have been
cleansed and the sewage-matter removed.
No. 13, Brewer-street-.—A large heap of vegetable
matter in the yard, and a stable without drainage. A notice
was served, on April 14th, for the refuse to be removed daily
and for the stable to be properly drained, which has been
done.
No. 175, Cambridge-street.—A girls' school, where we
found obstructed drains, with a quantity of sewage matter
in the yard, and were obliged, after notice, to take out a
summons and to give evidence before Mr. Arnold, at the
Westminster Police-court, who granted an order to abate the
nuisance.
Allington-street.—Effluvia at Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14
from being inundated with sewage water, which varied in
depth above the floor from 2 to 7 inches. The nuisance had
been caused by placing a dam across the sewer in Tachbrookstreet,
during the construction of the Metropolitan Extension
Railway. When the boards in the kitchen floors of some of
the houses were removed, the stench was horrible, and in one
the earth was soaked with sewage to the depth of nearly
6 feet.
Cow-shed, Brewer-street.—As Mr. Hatt persisted in
keeping cows here, although his license had been taken
away, a summons was taken out on Wednesday, June 6,
