In the Belgrave Sub-District 382 cases, 64 notices,
2 cases before magistrate. Magistrate's order, one.
The above cases of complaints entered, consist of those
only, in which it is necessary to make a formal record of
facts, either because the person aggrieved and complaining
may think himself otherwise neglected; or because it may
be necessary to use those facts as a basis of legal proceedings.
They do not include the numberless visits
of inspection, and precaution, and watchfulness, which
are necessary for the suppression of evils in their bud,
but which are not formally entered. For example, there
are in the parish—
33 Slaughter Houses,
43 Marine Store Dealers, and
15 Cow Houses.
each of which is visited frequently and regularly. In the
case of some complaints, it is necessary for the Inspector
to make from twelve to thirty visits, to see that the cause
of complaint is real, and that the one party is not the victim
of frivolous accusation, nor the other of evils which the
local authority ought to deal with.
We have the honour to be,
Your faithful Servants,
