[???]fljrawal, and for soinc minutes after, a dense smoke arises, and a
[???]flof it i/iay, when the wind blows from a northern point of the
[???]tflfnss penetrate into the shop, but certainly never into the street,
[???]mil is forty-five feet distant.
[???]me process of roasting coffee and chicory has been performed by
[???]•Simpson on his premises during the last ten years, and has
[???]:»f before been complained of. 1 consider the complaint frivolous,
[???]nilso visited several times the smokehouse at the fishmonger's,
[???]'Berhithe-wall, and cannot see any reason for altering the opinion
[???]expressed by me in my previous reports.
[???]fis unpleasant to attribute bad motives to any person, but it is
[???]dl feared that complaints of the nature of those above-mentioned,
[???]spring up from the bickerings of neighbours and personal
[???]aosities, and are quite unfit to take up the valuable time of
[???]MV estry.
[???]vhe privies at No. 1, Thetford-place, tenanted by Creamer, and of
[???]tLower Neptune-street, standing next door to the above, have
[???]& built against the wall of No. 11, Thetford-place. These
[???]are in a very filthy state from want of proper drainage, and
[???]ta disgusting smell in the lower rooms-at No. 11. Unless
measures be speedily taken for the abatement of the nuisance,
wealth of^the inmates of No. 11 is likely to sutler.
t the Bell Tavern, from some imperfection in the drainage,
Ir penetrates into the cellar, and after stagnating there for a few
s, becomes putrid and offensive. The neighbours complain of
stench which arises while it is pumped up and runs into the
[???]l in the back-yard. The same state of things existed once before,
[???]was remedied by the Surveyor. It would be desirable that his
[???]jitition be again called to it.
[???]vKile summonses taken out by order of this Board were partly
[???]i d before Mr. Seeker, on Friday, the 17th of February. Both
[???]tis, however, were adjourned for three weeks.
[???]Turing February, there died in Rotherhithe, forty-six persons,
[???]x.mong them, six from scarlatina, one from measles, and one from
[???]Iktheria. There have been in the Parish several cases of mild
[???]ollpox, but no death has occurred from the malady.
Yours respectfully,
March, 1860. W. MURDOCH.
