also, upon the vendor's application, examined meat, fruit, &c.,
purchased by them, and when found to be unfit for food of man, and
had been brought direct from market the same day, I had the said
meat, fruit, &c., destroyed, and I furnished the applicants with a
certificate to that effect. It was found necessary in one case to make
a seizure of a quantity of mussels exposed for sale on a stall outside
159 Chrisp Street; they were nearly all bad, and were, with your

costs.

the cow and slaughter houses were forthwith reinspected, and works
of sanitary repairs, where necessary, executed.
