(It should be mentioned that in February, 1950 the same
owners again appealed to the Ealing Magistrates Court against
notices to provide dustbins at two similar properties. On this
occasion also the appeals were allowed. The Ealing Council appealed
against this decision to the Middlesex Quarter Sessions. The
appeals, which were heard on the 19th and 20th April, 1950, were
allowed and ten guineas costs were awarded to the Council).
