SLAUGHTERHOUSES.
The bye-iaw made by the London County Council for regulating
the conduct of a business of a slaughterer of cattle was allowed by the
Minister of Health on 7th December, 1923. The bye-law, which comes

in a slaughterhouse shall be effectually stunned prior to slaughter, such

bye-law does not apply to the slaughter of cattle according to the Jewish
method of slaughtering, if no unnecessary suffering is inflicted.

The bye-laws are made for regulating the conduct of the business of
a slaughterer of poultry, the structure of the premises on which the business
is being carried on, and the mode in which application is to be made for
sanction to establish such business anew within the County of London
exclusive of the City of London.
