The difference in the two numbers is accounted for by the fact
that some of the milk sellers occupy more than one shop.
The premises on which milk is sold are as follows:—
Dairies
54
Bakehouses and Confectioners
25
Restaurants and Coffee Shops
11
General Shops
24
Two of the registered milk sellers do not occupy shops, one sells
milk from a refreshment tent on Hampstead Heath on Bank
Holidays, while the other has a milk round, but no shop. Three
milk purveyors were prosecuted and fined for selling milk without
being registered, and one was fined two pounds and costs for selling
milk in dirty glasses. The latter was an itinerant trader selling milk
on the Heath, and the other three defendants were non-resident
traders.
