A statement marked " C " is annexed, giving the number of
loads of dust, &c., removed from the 29th April, 1886 (the date

SWINE.
During the period swine were found to be kept at the following
places, and were all viewed by a Sub-committee of the Sanitary
Committee, viz., at—
At 20, High Street, Mr. Carter, when served with a Notice,
did not discontinue keeping swine, and was accordingly summoned,
fined, and the nuisance removed.
At 8, Peterboro' Lane, swine were kept, and ,at the first visit
were not in proper condition ; subsequently the directions of your
Committee were carried out ,and they decided not to interfere.
Broom Farm, Taylor. 'These were also visited by your Committee,
and although situated in a most isolated place were badly
drained. Directions were given for the more effectual draining of
the premises, which were carried out after being summoned.
St. James Home. The pigs here were at a considerable
distance from any occupied houses, but on the first visit they were
in an unsatisfactory condition. This was found to be remedied
on a second visit, and no further proceedings were taken.
At Bank Side, where it was reported pigs were kept, none
were to be found, but they had been removed to the premises in
the occupation of Mr. Walden adjoining. They were beyond the
prescribed distance from the road.
Broom Lane, Fulham Palace, and Colehill House were all
found to be satisfactory.
