THAT PARTY WALL.
(Continued from Page 7), he made up his mind to condemn it. He was not prepared to swear that there were oracks. He be lieved there were, but be had visited so many dangerous build- ings about that time. The reason for his ordering the wall to be pulled down was that there were signs of orushing and fractured bricks. If there were cracks over the windows they certainly helped him to come to the conclusion he did; it was however, not the only reason. He saw nothing in tho shoring about which he could complain, bat he pointed out that he only visited the house once or twice after the shoring was put up. The shoring which bo saw was of a similar nature to that he generally saw.
In answer to Mr. Slade, witness said that neither of the owners complied with the notices within the the time limited. work was not done until some time in May. The Building au- thority had ample authority to enforce obedience to their notices. Mr. Slade-May I take it that you did not consider it necessary to enforce immediato compliance in this case?-No; I dont think you may take it that way.

tong
the wall, etc. was 19 over tho whole bressemer. He attributed the cracks to the fact that the front wall was of blue brickwork, that there was no bonding between the arches and the brickwork, and to a probable shrinkage of lintels and the bressemer, exposure to fire and water and the age of the build- ing. He had examined No. 17 this morning, and the arches wore cracked in that house in the same manner as he found in No. 19 on July 24 of last year.
