Frederick Skinner, 63, Bishop's road.—8 cows kept; has room for 9. Shed
is new, well constructed, and properly arranged and ventilated.
Champness Brothers, 5, Russia lane.—No cows kept, but have cubic space
(800 feet each) for 4; very slight alterations have been made; 2 stalls have, however,
been so arranged that the requirements of the Metropolitan Board of Works have
been complied with after a fashion. Messrs. Champness do not intend keeping any
cows at present, but wish to keep on their licence. The ventilation is bad, as there
are no special openings for the purpose.
John Powell, I, Russia lane.—8 cows kept; there is, however, space for 6
only. The shed is well ventilated by louvred lantern ventilators in the roof.
William Hodges, 34B, Green street.—Keeps 65 cows, but has only cubic
space for 57. This is a large shed ventilated by side openings. The cows are given
no water, but are fed on distiller's wash.
Humphrey Griffiths, 6, Warley street.—Keeps 2 cows, but has cubic space
for 9. Very little has been done to the shed; the regulations of the Board have not
been carried out.

for 16. In fairly good condition.
Champness Brothers, 65, Roman road.—No cows kept, but have space for 8.

FISH CURING.
The premises for smoking and curing fish have all been visited by
the members of the Sanitary Committee, who expressed themselves as
satisfied with the improvement shewn in most; some are still, however,
kept in a very dirty condition.
In accordance with the desire of the Committee, the following
Bye-laws were drawn up and issued to all the persons following this
tiade in the parish:—
BYE-LAWS FOR REGULATING THE CONDUCT OF THE BUSINESS
OF A FISH CURER OR FISH SMOKER,
And the Structure of the Premises in which such business may be carried on
within the limits of the Parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal Green.
1. The Occupier shall keep the inner walls of the shed, in which the fish are
opened and cleaned, in good order and repair, and shall cause them to be thoroughly
washed with quick lime at least once in every three months, and he shall keep the
yard and other parts of the premises clean and in good order.
2. The Occupier shall cause the shed and yard to be well paved with asphalte or
flag stones, or proper paving bricks, set in cement, to be laid with a proper slope
