Ten summonses were taken out under the "Nuisances Removal
Act" and one under the "Sanitary Act." With the exception of one
case (which was dismissed upon the informality of the notice), all the
prosecutions were successful. In only one case, however, was a penalty
inflicted, i.e., for disobedience to an order of the Magistrate.
Two summonses were also taken out under the "Housing of the
Working Classes Act," 1890. Both these cases proved successful,
closing orders being obtained in each instance.
The total penalties received and paid into the Vestry during the
year in respect of the above proceedings, amounted to £40 10s.
I now append a detailed statement of the foregoing cases.
