Seizure of unwholesome food 1
I have appended a table of the Mortality of the Population, according
to the various professions and trades.
Fifty slaughter-houses were licensed at the magistrate's court, and are
under the constant supervision of Mr. Lovett, the Inspector of Nuisances,
as also are 49 cow-houses, for which the owners obtained permission to
keep cows.
I am happy to state that in only one case has it been found necessary
to seize meat of a diseased or putrid character.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your faithful Servant,
FRANCIS GODPICII,
Medical Officer of Health.
