The principle upon which I have acted in the removal of
nuisances, has been not to make any representations to you without

follow up the evil until everything possible in the case has been
remedied. The adoption of this course has been attended in many

enforced. In a few cases measures have been taken under the
Metropolis Local Management Act, by which the Vestry is empowered
to do the necessary works of improvement, and to recover the expenses
