By direction of (Mr. Young) the Public Analyst, I have obtained
47 samples of food and drugs for analysis. Legal proceedings were
instituted against the respective vendors, and on these three cases
convictions were obtained, the penalties inflicted by the presiding
magistrate varying from 27s. to £312s 6d.
The markets and stalls have been regularly inspected throughout
the year, with a view of detecting diseased and unwholesome food,
in two instances a quantity of mackerel and apples were destroyed
with the owners' consent. The respective vendors were warned and
informed that at the next offence I should take legal proceedings.
I have also made periodical inspections throughout the year of the
Cow and Slaughterhouses.
The licensed Slaughterhouses number 4
The licensed Cowhouses 4
During the year 4 summonses have been taken out under the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891, against the owners for non compliance
with the Board's statutory notices served: 3 were withdrawn, the
nuisances having been abated before the day of hearing and 1 abate
ment order was made with costs.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
FREDK. JOSEPH ANTHONY,
Assoc. San. Inst.
Sanitary Inspector and Inspector under
Sale of Food and Drugs Act,
