With the same exception, all the houses have through ventilation
and backyards. The case, therefore, it appeared to me, was
one to be met by more frequent sanitary inspection. Already,

How much, within a comparatively short time, may be seen on

notices dealing with works of both classes.
II.—There are 11 Common Lodging Houses in Bangor Street, 8 in Crescent
