The Borough Council is now responsible for the periodical
inspection of the Slaughter-houses and the due enforcement
of all By-laws and Regulations made in connection
therewith, under the Slaughter-houses, etc., Metropolis Act,
1874, and the Local Government Act, 1888. Such duties
were carried out by the London County Council previous to
the passing of the Local Government Act, 1899.
During 1912, no action was required to be taken before
the Magistrate in regard to infringement of By-laws.
OFFENSIVE TRADES
During 1912, no nuisance was reported in connection
with the three offensive trades, which are registered as
established within the Borough, and which are under the
supervision of the Borough Council:—
1. Fat Melters—Upper Marsh (Messrs. J. C. & J.
Field).
2. Soap Boilers—Upper Marsh (Messrs. J. C. & J.
Field).
3. Tripe Boilers—103 Lambeth Walk (Messrs.
nett, Son & Co.).
During 1912, the tripe-boiling business at 115 Lower
Marsh lapsed from disuse, by Section 19 (8) of the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891, and the entry in the Register
of Offensive Trades was cancelled, in consequence, by the
London County Council.
