The return of the proceedings taken by the vestry under the metropolis
local management act and the nuisances removal act, as required by the
former statute to be published, will be found in the Appendix No. 12
(page 60).
Forty-seven slaughter houses in the parish were licensed by the
magistrates in October, 1860, not one having been opposed by the vestry.
A list of them is given in the Appendix No. 13 (page 61).
The tenant of No. 3, Queen’s Road East, having been detected in
slaughtering upon his premises which were not licensed for that purpose,
the attention of the board was called to the subject, but as it appeared
that he had been acting under the impression that the premises were
licensed, in place of other proceedings, a letter of warning was written
to him, and the offence was discontinued.
The notices of the vestry having been neglected by Mr. Peter Augustus
Halahan, owner of Nos. 1 to 10, Wickham Place, application was made under
the nuisances removal act to the magistrate and his orders obtained for
the execution of the necessary works; these orders being also neglected
and nothing being done at the expiration of the time allowed, the clerk
was instructed to apply for the enforcement of the penalties provided by
the twenty-seventh section. The defendant was fined thirty-six shillings
and costs, and in default of payment was committed to prison.
A manuscript copy of all the reports made to the vestry by the medical
officer of health during the year is sent to the metropolitan board of
works with a copy of this report.
