Unique IDA-00326171SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 13th May 1893 and 19th May 1893Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionLetter: Maria Nancarrow complaining that no notice was taken of Mr Seymour's inspector's caution to the inhabitants of 6 Sir John Young Crescent not to empty their chamber pots from the balconies facing the Domain each morning and she, her tenants and others still suffer from this practice. (Note: For Inspector of Nuisances attention & report: HJD;16/5/93. 16/5/93 Recd Sanitary Dept. With reference to the letter signed "Maria Nancarrow" complaining of a filthy nuisance arising from the contents of chamber vessels having been thrown into the street from the front balcony of No 6 Sir John Young Cresent. I have the honor to report that on 15th instant a similar complaint was made to me (verbally) by the writer of the letter, when I immediately sent an officer (Mr Mutton) to inspect and to report upon the matter. He states that on doing so he discovered some faecal matter on footway not directly in front of No 6 but apparently thrown there from at an angle of about 45 degrees, and fronting some portion of the Domain Hotel. There being no proof positive of the offence having been committed by the occupant of No 6 he deemed it his duty as a matter of expediency to caution Mrs Brown against a repetition thereof. Mrs Brown however most positively denied having thrown or caused to be thrown any such matter from the aforesaid premises. A second inspection was made by the said officer yesterday when he found no trace of filth, as previously, and the premises No 6 were as before in a clean and sanitary condition. and Mrs Nancarrow informed him that the offence had not been repeated since his previous visit: RS;18/5/93.
