'this was an indictment against the defendant for
i a nuisance, in erecting a soap-manufactory in the
1 bent-road, near the Elephant and Castle, ito the an.
110yIllICC of all his neighbours.
Several witnesses residing in the immediate neigh-
, bourhoed were called, who proved that the stench
i was so intolerable that their houses were rendered
quite uninhabitable. The place where the manufae-
tory was built was fornierly a stable-yard, surrounded
i by respectable houses, which, since the opening of
the soap-manufactory, had been so much annoyed,
that the inhabitants were frequently made so sick as
'' induced vomiting.
Mr. Serjeant BEST. for the defendant, contended,
that the business must be carried on somewhere, and
there was not a less objectionable spot to be found.—
inasmuch as it was surrounded by manufactories of
a life nature ; that the smell of the soap-maker was
blended with that of a varnish-maker, a catgut-ma-
ker, a tanner, and tallow-chandler, who were all fixed
in Chesaine spot, and his client lady added a little to
the odorileious smells-already diffused there.
Lord Y.l..i.annoaoutais obstrv..d, that although a
wan was bah kilted by one stench, it was no warrant
for another to kill him outs ight with another.
