Special Sessions to give any further information
that may be required."
The Special Sessions was held on the 27th of
October, when I stated to the Magistrates that in
certain of the Cowhouses, viz., those of Messrs.
Annis, Bancroft, Brown, Farebrother, Hall (Irongate
Wharf), Squire, Welford, and Wingrove, the
grounds of opposition were of such a nature that
they could be removed by making improvements
in the drainage or ventilation of the several buildings.
In order that these improvements might be
carried out, the Sessions was adjourned until the
24th of November. It then appeared that the required
works had been executed in five out of
seven Cowhouses. As regards the other two, it
appeared that they were the property of one
owner, by whose objections the Occupiers were
prevented from improving the ventilation of their
Sheds. Part of the buildings being used as
dwellings, they could only be rendered fit for
the keeping of cows by ejecting the human
tenants, which the landlord was unwilling to do.
The Licence was therefore refused. Of the
remainder, four, whose premises were in confined
situations, received their Licences on condition
that they would keep a limited number of Cows
only, and would engage to have all manure
removed every morning before half-past seven.
The rest were licensed unconditionally.
