Very numerous inspections of premises where offensive works
are carried on have been made during the year, and the necessary
orders given for the abatement of nuisances.
In all cases coming to my knowledge, I have removed and properly
disinfected (with the consent of the owners) all bedding and clothing
used by persons suffering from infectious diseases.
The slaughter and cow-houses in the Hamlet have also been
frequently visited during the year.
In accordance with your instructions, the whole of the bakehouses
in the Hamlet were visited and inspected, with a view of
ascertaining whether the provisions of the Factory and Workshops'
Act, 1883, were properly carried out. Report was made, and a large
number of improvements effected by the owners in compliance with
the orders of the Vestry.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
HENRY LESHAW,
