The large number of property owners on the vestry's committees
has nothing to do with few complaints of overcrowding being
received, Paget, 17,738.
Tenents in overcrowded houses should first apply to the landlord
to abate, and if refused then to the vestry, Paget, 17,739.

Owners finding their tenements in bad condition would not need
to report to vestry, the remedy is in their own hands, Paget,

tenements would not be fit men to manage parish affairs,
Paget, 17,751-17,754.
The rejected clause in the tenement regulations would have
specially affected the class of property held by Mr. Ross and
others, Paget, 17,755.

regulations might have been accepted, Paget, 17,760, 17,761.
The tenement regulations are suspended, Paget, 17,759.
Sanitary inspectors are not influenced in their duties by the fact
of so many vestrymen being property owners, Paget, 17,767,

in, containing many thousands of inhabitants, Paget, 17,780.
The population of the Peabody buildings just opened in Pear
Tree court is over 1,000, Paget, 17,780.
The substituted accommodation would more than hold both those
displaced and the increase of population which has occurred
since 1861, Paget, 17,780.

1855, Paget, 17,780.
