Eating Houses.
These were inspected and found satisfactory. Only in two
instances intimations were served respecting the cleansing; and
the work was done forthwith.
Markets and Stalls.
Much attention has been paid to these with a view of preventing
the sale of unsound food. Night inspections have also been made,
and good results have been obtained.
The class of meat sold, has, in my opinion, been sound.
Unsound Food.
Animal food has been closely inspected in this district, whether
the same has come from the Central market or from the out-lying
districts. Several pig's heads have been surrendered owing to
being diseased, but the carcases belonging to the heads were not
upon the premises, as the heads are bought separately.
In a sausage factory some diseased lungs were found, seized, and
taken before the magistrate to be condemned.
A summons was taken out against the butcher and at the Thames
Police Court he was fined £10 10s. and £5 5s. costs.
Observations have been kept at all hours during the night upon
suspected traders in unsound food, with some good results.
Bakehouses.
These are often inspected, but there has been little cause of
complaint.
They are now classified as Workshops or Domestic Workshops.
