It is thereupon ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, that Their Majesties Surveyor General, and the Commissioners of Sewers for the Liberty of Westminster, do forthwith inspect the said Nuisance; and give this House an Account thereof on Tuesday next, at Ten of the Clock in the Forenoon; and hereof they may not fail.
