PIG-KEEPING NUISANCE. j Prosecution by Prestatyn Council. At Prestatyn Sessions on Wednesday before Mr Elwy Williams and Mr T. D. Jones, William Williams, Plastirion, Prestatyn, was charged by the Prestatyn Urban Council un- der the Public Health Act with keeping swine so as to he a nuisance to the neighbourhood, a second charge being instituted under the local byelaws which state that swine may not be kept within 60 feet of a dwelling house. Mr J. Holland Roberts appeared for the Council, and in stating his case, suid that his Council, and in stating his case, suid that his clients did not desire to press the charge, but the interests of the town must be safeguarded. The charge under the Public Health Act was first taken. N Mr C. L. Roberts Sanitary Inspector, said that the Council had received complaints regarding this matter, and as far back as January he had inspected the place, and as a C result served notice requesting Mr Williams to B remove the styes. In May and June there £ was infectious illness in the place, and he found that Mr Williams was still keeping pigs, j and they constituted a nuisance. Witness G reported this to the Council, and eventually v he was instructed to serve Mr Williams with a statutory notice, and this was done. On the 11th of September the Medical Officer of J Health accompanied him to the premises and i they found that the manner in which the pigs i were kept was a nuisance to the inhabitants 1 in the neighbourhood. The styes were but 40 ( feet from the dwelling house, whereas the bye- I laws stated they must not be less than GO feet. Dr. Lloyd Roberts, Medical Officer of Health, said that on the date in question he ( foxrad the styes in 4 very offensive condition. ( They were bady built, the draining was bad, and the floor poor. There was also a manure j heap close by. In fact it was all very badly kept. It was a nuisance, and prejudicial to health. This case was started through their being scarlet fever at the house in May and June. Probably the infection was brought from elsewhere, but as the magistrates knew, the worst places were soonest attacked by infection. Mr Williams said the styes were 23 yards from the house, and a drain had been made 8 J years ago. 2 A plan was then handed in by the Sanitary Inspector proving the distance. Mrs Williams gave evidence stating that the illness spoken of was brought home by the sons who had been out driving. There were other people who had styes in their yards close to the main road. The pigs had been removed from their yard now, and they did not intend to keep any more there. Mr Holland Roberts pointed out that Mrs Williams was under the impression the case had been brought entirely by Mr C. L. Roberts whereas as a matter of fact the Council had been dealing with the matter since 1905. The Chairman said only a nominal fine would be imposed, but it must be understood that pigs could not be kept if they were a nuisance to anyone. Even if they were in a field they must be kept in a clean state so as not to be an annoyance to the neighbourhood. A fine of 1/- was imposed which, together In with the costs amounted to £ 1 1/6. Mr Holland Roberts said that having secured a conviction the Council would with- draw the second charge.
