New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1866-09-04

FIRST DIsTRICT.-A very large docket was dis
posed of by Recorder Ahern Yesterday.
The case of James Givan, prosecuted by DR..
Burns, health officer Of the district for an alleged
violation of the fourth section of the health ordi
nance, committed in keeping large number of
hogs penned within the pound limits, was with
drawn, because upon the ordinance defining the
pound limits being produced, it was found that
Claiborne street is the boundary, under an ordi-
nance of the late military government of the CITY,
and Mr. Givans pen is situated at the corner OF
Gasquet and Miro streets, which is further out
than Claiborne street. DR.. Burns described the
pen as very offensive and dangerous to the public
health. There are about hundred and fifty hogs
i'll the enclosure, and they are fed daily with the
garbage gathered from restaurants, boarding
houses and hotels, which garbage, scattered over
the lot, becomes fetid immediately and the odor
arising from it taints the atmosphere for squares
The street commissioner attempted to abatc the
nuisance some time since, but was restrained from
moving the hogs by an injunction from one Of the
district courts. We learn that the assistant city
attorney intends to move for a dissolution Of the
injunction with the view of enabling the commits
sioner TO enforce any law he may find applicable
to the case If there is no ordinance to cover the
case, it devolves upon the joint committees of the
council to devise measure by which the neigh
borhood may be relieved from so noisome and un-
healthy nuisance.
Mr. Peck, representing the firm of Peck Bros,
l62 Canal street, was charged by DR., Burns, the
health officer Of the First District with allowing
large accumulation of rubbish to remain in the
yard Immediately in the rear of the premises desg
| IL
| have it renewed within twenty -four hours
Defendant alledged that his lease gave him no
privilege over the yard, and that the parties &C.
| cupying the upper part of the premises ought to
| be required to have the rubbish removed, DR..
Burns testified that the parties occupying the up
per part of the premises had cleaned up the yard,
and had the walls, etc, whitewashed, and
averred, as did those who had previously occupied
it, that the rubbish had been deposited there from
the store of the AIessrs, Peck The nature of the
rubbish led DR.. Burns to the conclusion that this
was correct, although he could not pretend to
enter into the minutia of such disputes as this.
The recorder imposed fine of ten dollars on Mr.
Peck, and informed him that it would be repeated
as often as complaint should be made of the con-
tnuance of the violation of the health ordinance.
