THE BELLE-ISLE NUISANCE.

On Saturday, at Clerketwell, Mr. Richard Cross, of
No. 8, Little King-street North, Camden-town, was
summoned before Mr. Tyi.whitt, he - being the occu-
pier of a certain building used for the purpose of
slaughtering horses and boiling offal and blood, situate
at the Shoot, in Belle-isle, Maiden-lane, the said bus nem
being a nuisance injurious to the health of the inhabi-
tants of the neighbourhood. The court was crowded by
the inhabitants of the district.

From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the de-
fendant's yard in which he carried on his business wan
only six yards long and four wide. When the officers
visited the defendant's premises, the stench was intoler-
able, and the place was filthy in the extreme. There were
no means whatever employed for mitigating the nuisance,
which is, however, capable of very great improvement.
In the shed there was one copper, four feet in d;ameter,
used for boiling the flesh, entrails, bones, &c., and at the
time the visit was made the water was being heated
prior to the introduction of the bones. There was no lid
or cover to the boiler, and the vapours escaped unchecked
through a hole in the roof. There was then a ton of
bones piled on the floor ins very putrid state. The shed
was paved, but the drain was almost useless, and
there were pools of putrid blood lying about. The walls
wore covered with filth and animal refuse. Some entrails
in an advanced state of decomposition were hanging
from one of the walls in the yard, and there were also
two coppers containing putrid blood.
The following are the recommendations of Mr. Brad-
ley, the surgeon :---1. That the premises may be
thoroughly cleaned. 2. That there might be a supply of
water laid on. 3. That the place may be properly
drained and paved. And 4. That the effluvia arising
from the boiling of bones should be made to pass through
the ash pit or furnace previous to being carried away by
a shaft into the external air, and also that no accumu-
lation of bones or offal should be allowed.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 51. and costs, but
before inflicting it, he would give the defendant three
weeks to comply with the request of the parish, then, f
they were properly carried out, the fine would not be
enforced.

SUICIDE.—A young man, twenty-eight years of age,
named Jackson, committed suicide on Wednesday last,
on the railway between Southampton and Dorchester,
about three miles from the former town. He laid him-
self deliberately down just before a running train, placed
his head on the right hand rail, and his feet on the left,
and was killed instantly. He appears to have been per-
fectly sober when he did this, but was an inveterate
drankard.
