SANITARY INFORMATIONS.
BEFORE ItIF.SSILS, T. BOLTON, AND L. PEET

Mr. M‘Gowan, the law-clerk of the health committee,
appeared to preferm charge against Messrs. Lewis, Morris
and Roberts, for permitting a nuisance to exist upon a piece
of vacant land at the rear of their property, which consisted
of six houses situated on the north side of Cresswell-
street. This nuisance arose from the insufficient state of
drainage of the defendant's houses, and the refuse water
from them lodged upon the piece of hand, and became very
offensive to the inhabitants of that neighbourhood. Several
persons had signed a complaint, which had been sent to the
officials of the health committee;, in reference to this

It
,appeared that a portion of the
property belonged to a entletnan, named Lewis,
who resides in Shrewsbury, and in order that be might be
made acquainted with the matter, with a view to co-operate
with the other owners; who expressed their willingness
to make the necessary drainage, the case was adjourned

nuisance.

for a week.
A charge was also preferred by Mr. M'Gowan against
Robert Ellis, under the following circumstances, A num-
ber of persons occupied the houses in a court, and
the defendant occupied a house at the mouth of that
court in Primrose-hill. The houses in the court- were in
such a state as to require draining. The only way
in which that could be done would be by carrying
the sewers through the court into the sewer in the
street. Mr. Ellis was making a drain for his own house,
but refused to sink it to a sufficient depth to allow the
owners of the houses in the court to make MC of it, though
they were willing to pay him whatever extra expense he
might be pi.. to. Mr. Ellis had been 'to the health com-
mittee, and obtained a plan for draining his own premises,
but did not abide by the plan, but set, the law at defiance. Mr.
Almond-for the defendant, admitted the fact, but stated
that the only objection raised by Mr Ellis was, that he had
not sufficient security for contributions from the owners of
the houses. The court imposed a fine of -20 s, and agreed
that Mr. Benbow, the contractor, should construct the work
and charge Mr. Ellis his fair quota. A second charge was
brought against Mr. Ellis, under the 84th section
of the Liverpool sanitary act, for constructing a sewer
without submitting a plan, and secondly, for carrying
out that work without authority: For each of these
offences he was fined 50s.
. Mr. Har►uood Banner, and Mr. George Bebbington, were
charged with alloWing a wall. of which they were the owners,
to remain in Audley-street, Overton, in a dangerous state.
The case wits remanded fora week, that the wall might be
taken down.
