![It has been found necessary during the year to bring several cases before the magistrates, a tabular summary of which will be found in Table 22. It will be seen that the majority were in reference to closing orders for houses unfit for habitation. One case seriously affecting the public safety was that in which a parent, after due caution, persisted in exposing a child suffering from scarlatina to the common danger of the public. Out of a total of 48 cases only one case was dismissed, the work having been completed before the hearing. TABLE 22. CLOSING ORDERS FOR HOUSES UNFIT FOR HABITATION. Date. Situation of Property.
