Riverside Wharves where Food is Stored, &c.
There is only one wharf in my district where food (all tinned)
is landed for sale both at home and abroad, viz., Concordia; Wharf,
Cold Harbour. These premises have been carefully inspected, and
kept under strict supervision during the past year, and the following
articles were found to be blown or otherwise damaged, and on
examination proved to be unfit for human consumption, and were
condemned1 with the consent of the Manager, who stated they were
not intended for sale:—
January.—407 tins (various sizes) of chicken, rabbit, beef,
mutton, soup, and tongue.
March.—250 6-lb. tins of beef and mutton.
April.—907 tins of beef, mutton, chicken and tongue.

the nuisances abated without having to take legal proceedings.
