With respect to the house in Branch Place, the owner was summoned for not
complying with a statutory notice requiring the abatement of a nuisance owing to
the drains being defective. The case was adjourned for the notice to be complied
with, which was done.
The proceedings in respect to No. 89, Brunswick Street, were taken against a
builder for fixing a new w.c. pan in contravention of the London County Council
by-laws, no notice having been given to the Clerk to the Sanitary Authority as
required by the by-laws.
The two summonses in respect to the house in Cavendish Street were : one
for not providing a proper dust receptacle and the other for not complying with a
statutory notice requiring certain work to be executed in connection with the
roof of the scullery. The dust receptacle was provided when the case came before
the magistrate, but the work required to be done to the roof had not been carried
out and an order was therefore made.
The drains were defective at No. 6, Charles Square. When the case came on

rectify certain errors in his work, which he did.
The summons in respect to No. 9, Dereham Place, was taken against the owner

were taken against the owner for non-compliance with statutory notices under the
Public Health (London) Act, 1891. When the cases came on for hearing some of

the completion of the work, which was duly effected. Generally the premises
were dirty and dilapidated.
The proceedings in respect to the houses in Grantham Terrace were against
the owner for not complying with statutory notices requiring the abatement of
nuisances due to defective drains and sanitary arrangements, the premises also
being more or less dirty and dilapidated and without proper dust receptacles.
Nuisance orders made by the magistrate not being complied with, further
proceedings were instituted and closing orders were made. There was some
difficulty in taking action owing to the fact that no owner was forthcoming at the
