Milk... ... Deficient in cream to the extent of 70 per cent, and
adulterated with 10 per cent, of water. Itinerant
vendor summoned for the abstraction of cream.
Fined £3, with £1 3s. costs. In lieu of distress,
defendant appeared at Court and elected to
receive sentence, 14 days' imprisonment.
The market places and stalls were regularly inspected throughout
the year, and I have on several occasions, on the vendors' application,
examined the articles of food purchased by them at the markets, and
when found unsound, had the same destroyed as trade refuse, and
gave the necessary certificates to that effect, but in no instance was
anything exposed for sale at the time of my visit in such a condition
as to justify a seizure.
Five notices of intention to apply for renewal of slaughter-house
and cow-house licenses were received from my district. The premises
were again forthwith inspected, and various works executed on the
service of " Intimations."
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
RICHARD E. MINERS, Assoc. San. Inst.,
Sanitary Inspector and Inspector under
Sale of Food and Drugs Acts.
Bromley, South Division.
