20. At the annual licencing in October, there were 103 applications for Slaughter
houses. These places were all visited by the Inspectors, and such as it was necessary I

of the act of Parliament and the demands of the Justices.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your very obedient Servant,
EDWARD BALLARD, M.D., M.R.C.P.
Vestry Offices, Medical Officer of Health.
