William Rees, 45, Gloucester street, Hackney road.—Keeps 8 cows, but has
only room for 3 (800 cubic feet to each).—This is a small, ill-constructed, timberbuilt
shed, without any special arrangements for ventilation, and is practically in the
same condition as before the issue of the byelaws.
Daniel Jones, 304, Columbia road.—Keeps 20 cows—his full number—
allowing 800 cubic feet for each. The shed is low and badly ventilated, the
openings being insufficient. By improving the ventilation the owner might be
allowed to keep 27 cows. The dung-pit and grain-pit are both inside the shed, but
boxed off with timber, which is, in my opinion, not sufficient; they should be
separated from the cows by proper brick partitions.
Joseph Morris, 8, James street.—Keeps 4 cows, but has cubic space for 7;
the place has been much improved since last year, and is ventilated by side openings.
Mr. Morris keeps a horse, a goat, fowls, and pigeons in his shed in addition to the
cows.
William Boakes, 47, Columbia road.—Keeps 7 cows, but has room (at 800
cubic feet for each) for 10. By improving the ventilation, which at present is bad,
would be able to keep 14 cows.
Richard Mason, 3, Hassard street.—Keeps 15 cows, but has sufficient space
for 34. The shed is large and well-built, but the ventilation might be improved by
the insertion of more side openings.
Howell Havard, I, Gibraltar walk.—Keeps 20 cows, but has only room for
16. The dung-pit and grain-pit are merely boxed off from the shed, which is, however,
new, well built, and well ventilated. He has too many cows for the space.
Thomas Harrington, 12, Gibraltar walk.—Keeps 1 cow, but has room lor 3,
reckoning 800 cubic feet for each. The shed is low and badly ventilated, there not
being any special arrangements for the purpose.
Thomas Jones, 5, Virginia row.—Keeps 14 cows, but has room for 16. This
is a good, well-built shed, well ventilated by louvred side-lights. The grain-pit and
dung-pit, which are situated at the entrance, are merely boxed off by timber
partitions.
Joseph Ward, 31, Austin street.—Keeps 9 cows, but has space for 13. The
shed is well ventilated and properly arranged.
John Williams, 8, Boundary street.—Keeps 6 cows, but has room for 11.
This place is, with the exception of a W.C. in the gateway, which really communicates
with and ventilates into the shed, fairly well arranged.
John Powell, 64, Squirries street.—This is a new shed in process of construction;
so far as I can judge he will have room for about 17 cows.
David Robinson, 44, Squirries street.—Keeps 9 cows, but has room for 11.
The shed is new, well built, and well ventilated by louvred roof and side openings,
but the dung-pit is merely boxed off from the shed.
David Robinson, William street.—This, which is used as an overflow shed by
Mr. Robinson, is nothing like so well constructed as the other. At the time of my
last visit there were 5 cows in the shed; there is, however, cubic space for 4 only.
Jonathan Richards, 381, Cambridge road.—This shed, which is the largest
and best-conducted in the parish, has cubic space for 116 cows; the last time I
