May 29, 1894.
TO THE BOARD OF WORKS FOR THE ST. GILES
DISTRICT.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you a report
upon the samples submitted to me for analysis under the
Sale of Food and Drugs Act during the year ending the
31st March, 1894.
The total number of samples of food examined during this
period was 266, a notable increase upon the preceding year
when 220 were analysed.
Of these 266 samples 130 were purchased by Inspector
William Henry Bond and 136 by Inspector John Robinson.
In the following table will be found a statement of the articles analysed during each quarter of the year.
