    A.D. 1858.—N 1540. Provisional Crickmers Improvements in Treating the Sewage of London and Neighbourhood, spring waters, and provide the same or some of them with valves, cocks, or sluices, for the purpose hereafter named. At some feet above the water level in the London basin, I place in the shaft pebbles or other filtering medium, if found necessary, and adopt any suitable means of cleansing the same from time to time. For the purpose of cleansing this shaft I open the valves or sluices above alluded to, and scour the shaft with the surface waters.
