Parish of Clapham.
For infringements of bye-laws, 33 summonses were
taken out, 11 of these were withdrawn, 8 on payment of
the costs and 3 without, the work having been done.
In 21 cases there were convictions, and one penalty of
three pounds was imposed, and six of 10s. with costs.
Summonses were issued in two cases for exposing
goods for sale on the public highway, and the defendants
were each fined 5s. and costs.
In addition there were the summonses referred to
above under the Housing of the Working Classes Acts and
for the smoke nuisance.
In conclusion I have pleasure in expressing my
satisfaction with the way the sanitary inspectors have
carried out their work during the year.
