107
summonses were applied for at the Thames Police Court; 11
premises were closed by Magistrate's order as unfit for human
habitation; 9 abatement orders were made, requiring the execution
of the work specified on the Board's notices within seven days, with
costs and penalties in the Board's favour.
By the direction of the Board's Analyst, Mr. Young, I have procured
24 samples of food and drugs for analysis; 7 were certified to
be so adulterated, that legal proceedings were ordered by the Clerk
to the Board. Summonses were taken out against the respective
vendors, and fines (varying from 4s. to £3 3s.) inflicted in each case.
Six notices of intention to apply for renewal of slaughter-house and
cow-house licenses have been received from my district. The
premises were forthwith inspected and various works executed on the
service of the Board's notice. The food stores of the district have
been regularly inspected with a view of detecting diseased and unwholesome
food, but no seizures were necessary nor made since my
appointment.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
