Fisher's Court.
A Magistrate's order was obtained to close these houses until rendered fit for human
habitation. Under the supervision of the Surveyor of Sewers, new methods of flushing the
w.c.'s were provided, the houses themselves undergoing thorough repair. A large galvanised
iron tank was provided by the Vestry as a receptacle for the dust.

Bake-Houses
Have been twice inspected. Notices, with threats of asking the Sanitary Committee from
the Vestry to visit the premises, were productive of much more cleanliness in the three
houses that have at almost all the visitations given most trouble.
Slaughter-houses and Cow Sheds
Have been periodically inspected. With one exception, these were found in good order,
and clean.
