I have observed at the commencement of this Report, that the rate of
mortality in this district, in the June quarter, during the last three years, has
considerably increased. Any plan, therefore, that is suggested on competent
authority, to promote the health of the population, is worthy of attention.
In the City of London the courts are daily flushed during the hot weather.
When the Cholera first became epidemic in this country, very many
of the Courts in Whitechapel Parish were daily washed by means of the
fire-engine.
In conclusion, I am desirous of suggesting, as an additional sanitary
measure, that all the courts in Petticoat Lane, Rosemary Lane, and in Upper
East Smithfield, should be cleansed daily by the scavengers, and also Goulston
Street and Baker's Row.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
15, Great Alie Street. JOHN LIDDLE.
