There were three seizures during the year. These related to
33½ cwt. of mussels. These were delivered direct into the district
and did not pass through Billingsgate Market. Samples examined
bacteriologically showed that these were polluted. The circumstances,
however, did not justify proceedings.
On 120 occasions unsound food was surrendered. Included
in the food surrendered were 10,380 lbs. of dates; 7,573 lbs. of
beef; 3,690 lbs. of bacon; 9 boxes, 7 barrels, 5 bags, and 36 cwt.
of fish, and smaller quantities of cheese, rabbits,calves' livers, ox
livers, butter and condensed milk. The number of carcasses or
parts of carcasses condemned on account of tuberculosis was 13.
On one inspection of the market place in Beresford Square
your inspector was obstructed. Legal proceedings followed, and
the stall-holder was fined.
The condition of Bakehouses and Slaughterhouses, and the
report of the sanitary condition of premises is dealt with in that
part of the report dealing with the sanitary inspection of the
district.
