Mutton Alley, on the ground that such disused passage was
unnecessary. It appeared that the thoroughfare in question was
cloned by the Trustees of the Hamlet of Ratcliff nearly half a
century ago, in consequence of its being the resort of bad characters
and facilitating the escape of thieves, since which time Bere Street,
a short distance off. was formed, which made the old alley of no use
to the public. The Board directed that the necessary steps be taken
to obtain an Order of Justice to entirely atop up and abandon
the alley.

to repair was served upon the lessee. Soon after the Metropolitan
Board of Works served dangerous structure notices calling upon the
owner to pull down and rebuild certain portions of the premises.
Upon a representation by the lessee the Board resolved that if the

expiration thereof, the Board would undertake to do the structural
works required by the Metropolitan Board, which works were afterwards
carried out. The houses are now let by the Board to weekly
tenants.
