with. Upon this, a letter from the Vestry, again pressing strongly
upon the Board that the street should be kept open, was sent, and
presented to the Board at the Meeting at which the Report of the
Committee was considered. The Board, however, adopted the Report
of the Committee, and have decided to close the street as proposed.

motion having been negatived, except by special leave of the Vestry,"

NUISANCE IN CAMBRIDGE ROAD.
An intolerable nuisance was created in Cambridge-road by the
stench arising from decayed vegetables, with vinegar, brought from
abroad in casks, to be used for making pickles. No attention being
paid to the notices and warnings of the Sanitary staff, an indictment
against the occupiers of the premises was preferred at the Central
Criminal Court, and a true Bill found, immediately upon which the
defendants went away.
BUILDING ACT.
The Medical Officer of Health and the District Surveyor were of
opinion that the new buildings in Mansford-street, being erected
under the name of " Model Dwellings," were so planned that they
would be unfit to live in, on account of the smallness of the open
spaces at the back, and the great height of the buildings. But it
appeared there had been a technical compliance with the Building Act,
and that no proceedings could be taken. The builder was warned
that in case of dwellings unfit for habitation, there was power for a
magistrate to ordt-r them to be closed, and some modifications were
made in the plans; but, with a view to future legislation, letters on
the subject were addressed to the Home Office and the Metropolitan
Board of Works.
STALLS IN THE STREETS.
*
Applications have been made, asking that particular stalls in streets
might be removed, but that the other stalls should be allowed to remain.
