Canal Boats Acts, 1877 to 1884.—During the year the
total number of boats inspected was 118, of which 11 were carrying
offensive cargoes. The Acts and Regulations were contravened
in one instance, and for this a complaint note was seat to
the owners requiring the abatement within a specified time.

This was remedied, and it was not found necessary to take legal
proceeding's.
