Unsound Food.
The stalls and shops where food is sold or stored
were regularly inspected by the Sanitary Inspectors in
rotation.
A quantity of unsound meat found in the ice safe of
a butcher was seized by your Food Inspector and
condemned by the Magistrate, but the summons against
the owner was dismissed on the ground that it was
doubtful whether the meat was intended for the food of
man.
A costermonger was summoned for exposing for sale
unsound pears and fined £2 and 2s. costs.
