Inspector Sinton remarked that there was a slight improvement by the lengthening of the chimney, but there was still room for com- plaint. Factories were allowed five minutes of black smoke every hour, but during the three hours that witness had observed the defendant's factory, black smoke was emitted for 10, 11.and 14 minutes respectively.

His Worship remarked that there seemed to be some chimneys smoking very badly somewhere "near the Observatory ill where his Worship lived, the amount of "spot being tremendous,

Referring to the present case, Inspector Sinton said the nuisance was very bad while the chimney was smoking.

His Worship asked if the pro- secution should not take a practi- eal man to inspect the nuisance to see how it could be abated. It was all very well for the Inspector to tell the defendunt to abate the nuisanco, but he adopted the attitude that he did not know what was required of him to abate it.
