may occupy more than one shop in the Borough. This accounts for the

Inspections of premises where milk is sold 347
On January 2nd, an inspection of a certain milkshop in the Town
Ward was made, when it was found that the milk utensils and the
premises generally were in a dirty condition. Proceedings were taken
against the occupier, who was fined £5 and costs.
With this exception, the conditions under which milk has been sold
have been on the whole found to be satisfactory.
