The shops and stalls in my district have been regularly inspected
with a view of detecting unsound and unwholesome food, and in
several instances quantities of fish, meat, etc., have been destroyed
with the consent of the vendors; also frequently, through the
year, a number of cases of fish and fruit have been brought to the
Public Health Office by tradespeople and costermongers, who
have found on arriving home from the market the contents of the
cases were unfit for food of man. The articles of food were destroyed
and the usual certificate given, and with one exception the money
has been returned by the wholesale vendors.
