Street. They also were closed in compliance with the
Vestry's order.
The eight-roomed houses, Nos. 8 & 9, Hoxton Market,

required to render the dwellings fit for habitation, decided to
close them (which has been done) with a view to
re-construction.
ST. MARY'S LODGE, HAGGERSTON CHURCH.—Several
eases of fever having occurred in these premises, and there
being reason to believe the ground under and around the
premises to be charged with human remains, notice was
therefore served requiring the premises to be closed, and kept
closed, until satisfactory evidence was given that they might
be inhabited without danger to health. In accordance with
the Vestry's order the premises were closed, and remain
closed at this time.
No Police Court Summonses, for the abatement of
Nuisances, have been taken out during the year.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
H. ALEXANDER,
Sanitary Inspector.
