Legal Proceedings under the Public Health (London) Act 1891 and Bye-laws
In pursuance of the different orders of authorisation granted by
the Public Health and Housing Committee, it has not been found
necessary to institute legal proceedings in any case for the abatement of
nuisances and non-compliance with the London County Council's and
Council's own bye-laws, as the nuisances were satisfactorily abated
previous to applying for summonses.
Food and Drugs Acts.
Under the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts 52 varied samples have been
purchased and submitted to the Public Analyst for analysis. Three on
analysis were found to be adulterated, 2 only sufficiently to require the
vendor to be cautioned by the Public Health and Housing Committee,
whilst in the case of the remaining one a summons was issued against the
vendor. Particulars of adulterated samples and result of proceedings are
appended.
