In the month of July I instructed Mr. Bobbitt, the Cow houses and
Slaughter Houses Inspector, to make systematic visits to the preserved
meat factories in the Borough. There are six such premises, four of
them employing a large number of workmen. There were 27 visits
made by the Inspector during the latter half of the year. On one of
these visits the Inspector's attention was drawn to several bales of
pigs' heads recently delivered. During the examination he found one
of the pig's heads badly affected with tuberculosis disease. He seized
the head and conveyed it to the police court, where the sitting magistrate
condemned the head and made an order for its destruction. Proceedings
were taken on the instruction of tne Public Health Committee
