Seweks Office, Guildhall, 26tli July, 1875. Sir, In accordance with the request made at the interview of a Deputation of the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London with Mr. Lambert and Mr. Lumley of your Board, on the subject of the Bye-laws proposed by the Commissioners under the provisions of the Slaughter-houses (Metropolitan) Act, 1874, I beg to forward in writing the questions discussed on that occasion. The Board in their Letter of April 21st, submit for the consideration of the Commissioners certain ' provisions which have been strongly recoinmended Ho the Board,' one of the first of which is that tJie approach to a Slaughter-house shall not he through any Dwelling-house or Shop. If the Commissioners approve the suggestion and frame a Bye-law to this effect, the result would be to close six out of twenty-four Slaughter-houses in Aldgate.
