Unsound Food.
During the year the undermentioned food stuffs have been surrendered
by the owners as being unfit for food, viz. :—
1 case of herrings.
1 box of hake.
1 box of codlings.
1 trunk of haddock.
1 box of plaice.
8 trunks of tomatoes.

and sent into the Bromley North Division for destruction; such food
stuff is not allowed to be destroyed until the District Inspector has
verified the amount and weight of each load sent from the wharf to his
district, The goods are then destroyed under his supervision. The
following quantities have been destroyed so as to prevent its reappearance

7,528 6-lb. tins of various meats.
