of 291. le. 2d., which sum had hem expended in deeming,
ventilating, and laying on a water supply to 15 small and
dilapidated houses in a court or alley celled Iriah-row,

Mr. Fulcher explained that the tenements in question

them bad been attacked with fever ; io feat, the noxious

flowed carpools attached to them were injurious to the
health of the inhabitants of the immediate neigh.

was fully made out. and an order made upon
him to do the necessary sanitary works. He
bad failed to do so, and the orders of the magistrate IMO
carried out by pentium employed by the board. Now all weal
changed—the noxious cesspools were 511 ed up, the houses
cleaned and line-washed, water laid on, and proper
places constructed. The houses were not fit for the
team of human beings beime the magistrate made his
order, and deaths from fever and small-pox had occurred is
Irish•row ; but now all the house were comparatively
healthy and comfortable.
Au old woman, the wife of the defendant, said he could
not attend, and was very ill. She alleged that the property
in question wee very unproductive, and let for a very small
sum. There was also a mist difficulty in collecting the
rents of the " estate," iossrouch es the occupiers adopted •
truly Irish mode of paying the rents in lrish-row, using
threats when rents were demanded.

perly in the matter, and with due regard to the public health
and convenience. and kindly taking into ocenideration the
poverty of the defendant, and the small rental he obtained
hoto Irish-row, he made 1110 order for the payment of ke.
