INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION OF FOOD AND PLACES WHERE

Slaughter Houses—Inspector Haydock reports in respect of the inspection
of meat and other foods that the premises visited which were licensed comprised 7
private slaughterhouses and 1 slaughterhouse for the slaughter of horses for export,
and 1 knacker's yard. The visits numbered 461.
During the year 1 slaughterhouse was licensed by the Council only on the undertaking
of the proprietor that no oxen be kept there overnight, and one licence was
not renewed. There is, therefore, a reduction in the number from 8 to 7.
