ARTIZANS' AND LABOURERS' DWELLINGS'
IMPROVEMENT ACT, 1868.
(Torrens's Act).
No premises have been reported to the Vestry under this Act
during the past year. Its working has been found to bo so
cumbersome and so full of difficulties, that, in deference to the
opinion of my colleagues, I have refrained from putting the law
in motion.
The Clerk to the Vestry and the Surveyor both argue that it is
much easier to close premises under the Nuisances Removal Act
than it is under Torrens's Act, and of this there can be no doubt.
