SLAOGHTER-HOU SES.
During the month of October, we formally visited
and examined with the Inspector all the slaughter-houses
in the parish, in order to report on their condition preparatory
to the renewal of their licenses. As the necessity
or otherwise of maintaining slaughter-houses has been
a matter of controversy, we think it expedient to put the
following facts on record.
In the In-Wards, the number of licensed
slaughter-houses is 14
Four years ago it was 17
In the Out-Wards 20
Four years ago it was 26
