SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
This Council having passed a resolution as provided in the Slaughter of Animals Act,
1933, extending the provisions of the Act relating to humane slaughter so as to include sheep,
ewes, wethers, rams and lambs, the requirements of the Act as to humane killing apply to all
animals killed in slaughter-houses in the Borough.
These provisions apply also to Knackers' Yards, but there are none of these in
St. Pancras.
There are three slaughter-houses in the Borough for which licences have been obtained,
viz.:—12, Pond Square (rear of 61, Highgate High Street), 166, Great College Street and
65, Osnaburgh Street. No slaughtering takes place at the hitter premises.
Particulars regarding these slaughter-houses and their inspection, for the purpose of
which 171 visits were made, are contained in the following table, as required by the Ministry
of Health:—

Registration, etc., of Slaughter-houses.
By the Transfer of Powers (London) Order, 1933, the registration, licensing, and
inspection of slaughter-houses were transferred to the Borough Council. The licences expire
on the 31st October in each year. Applications for the renewal of licences should be made
