*At the adjourned Licensing Sessions on the 23th November, 1907, the Public
Health Committee of the London County Council refused to grant the renewal of the
Licence of the premises Nos. 57 and 59, Chrisp Street, for the same to be used as a
slaughter-house. A letter was received from the Clerk of the London County Counoil
verifying this and added that the owner had not availed himself of the right of appeal
given him in sub-section 6 of section 20 of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891.
