violation OF the health ordinance. He will
prehahlT, within the days of grace allowed,
fll up the cssspools on his premises, which he
has defended 80 the extent of the law, and by
which litigation he has brought about for the
city a decision, affirmed by the Superior
Court, which no sensible person before
doubted, that stagnant, filthy ponds of water
may be declare a nuisance, and absted as
such, whether the basin containing it was
arti6cisllY made by the ground being dug out,

dition not known to have been changed by
man, it could not by any authority be con-
demned 90 nuisance. This was probably
upon the ethical ground that, TO do Sd, man
