Removal of Nuisances, Proceedings, &c.
From 25th March 1865 to 25th March 1866, 148 notices have been served in duplicate
under the Nuisances' Removal Act, upon complaints made by the Medical Officer and Inspector
of Nuisances, 28 of which have been effectually abated by proper drainage being made
from the respective houses into covered sewers, and 120 have been abated by removal.
23 notices to make and cleanse drains, and provide water-closets, ashpits, and water
supply, have been served in duplicate by order of the Yestry. And in every case the Owners
have properly complied therewith, by carrying out the requisite works.
14 notices of intention of Butchers to apply to have their Slaughter-houses licensed in
this parish were received by the Yestry, which were severally inspected and reported upon
by the Medical Officer of Health. These Slaughter-houses were all licensed by the Magistrates
in October, 1865.
4 notices from cowkeepers of their intention to apply to have their cowhouses licensed
under the provisions of the Metropolis Management Amendment Act, 1862, were received by
the Yestry; and the same having been inspected and approved by the Medical Officer of
Health, they also were all licensed by the Magistrates, in October, 1865.
For further particulars see Medical Officer of Health's Annual Report hereto annexed
