I subjoin to my Report the schedule which I would suggest for the registration of lodging-houses, and which (as you will observe) requires detailed information as to every sanitary particular of the dwelling.[70] I would recommend that in every case, where registration is made, the owner’s specification of these particulars should be accompanied by a written certificate from your Inspector; testifying (in some such form as that annexed to the schedule in my Appendix) first, to the accuracy of the statement, and, secondly, to the general condition of the house. [70] Vide page 210. With respect to the rules, which, under authority of this clause, you may find it requisite to lay down for better regulating the residences of the poor,--the conditions for which you have to legislate are so various and complicated, that no formula will apply universally; and you will often be called on to adapt special rules to particular cases as they come before you. I can therefore only venture at present to offer you general suggestions on the subject. You will find that the houses in which your interference is required fall into three cases, characterised as follows:--(1) Where the house is let in several independent holdings (often as many holdings as rooms) each occupied by a single family and no more, and paid for at a rent not exceeding 3s. 6d. _per_ week;--(2) Where the house is thus let in several independent holdings, and where the renter of each or any portion, admits other persons to share his holding with him, on their payment to him of a sub-rent _per_ week or _per_ night, so that a room comes to be occupied by more than one family at a time;--(3) Where the entire house, or all such part as is let in lodgings is under the direct management of a single resident proprietor or keeper, where the lodgings are let at . . . . _per_ night, and where many persons not belonging to one single family are lodged together in some single room, or in various single rooms of the house. Of the first arrangement, where a single room is the residence of a single family, you have innumerable illustrations in the City; as, for instance in the large houses of Windsor-street (to which I have recently drawn your attention) where in one house there are sixteen such holdings:--of the second arrangement--the most abominable and brutalising which can be conceived, you have sufficient illustrations in Plumtree-court:--of the third--comparatively little known in the City, there are instances in Field-lane.
