of: the building in question, but except for that space of eleven inches, there was no way in which fresh air could reach that court except’ from the top. The north and south walls of these buildings weredead walls without any windows or ventilation whatever, except a small window on the north side of each story. The east wall stood next to a dead wall and about eight inches from it, so that the space between the east wall of the tenements in question and a blank wall of the buildings several stories in height, just east of it, was ninety-one feet long and eight inches wide. As might be expected, this space was "full of all sorts of tilth, and its condition was such as to be unmentionable. The apartments in these buildings consisted of three rooms a front room lighted and ventilated by two windows, each five feet by three, opening into the front courtyard, and two bedrooms in the rear, each eight feet high and six feet ten inches square, and lighted by a single window two feet square, opening on to the court eight inches wide, and having no other ventilation, except that the bedrooms on the northeast corner on each floor had a window opening on the north into a yard. But except for that the bedrooms had no ventilation whatever, save such as they might get from the living room or from the windows,opening on to this ill-smelling and narrow court, eight inches wide. The cellars of these buildings were occupied by school sinks, for the use of all the tenants of both front and rear buildings. These cellars opened into the courtyard and had no other means of ventilation. They were damp, the floor being constantly wetted by the water from the hydrants in front of the buildings and by the sinks. The smell from the cellars going through the whole house was almost unendurable. T
