D'Aguilar Street and Queen's Road, 26th March, 1863,

To The Sanitary Committee,

Gentlemen,

We the undersigned Householders and Residents in

D'Aguilar Street and Queen's Road beg most respectfully to call

your attention to the very disagreeable effluvia arising from the sewers through the several openings

connected therewith; at and near the junction of the above-named streets; the Stench from

the same is at times almost insufferable,

and we humbly request that you will cause traps to be placed in the said openings,

or adopt such other measures as you may deem necessary.
