Police Court Cases. The three first and a seizure of unsound
pork were the only cases that required an appeal
to the Magistrate, but these necessitated nine
attendances at the police court.
Cow Houses All the cow-houses in the sub-district
and
Slaughter Houses. 18 in number, and the slaughter-houses
8 in number were as usual examined, and their condition
reported on as satisfactory, prior to the renewal of the
licenses of their owners.
Bake-houses. The bake-houses also numbering 39 underwent
inspection twice in the year, and with the exception
of two, in which lime-whiting had been omitted, and in
one of them a proper water supply was required, their
conditions were all found to be in accordance with the
regulations.
The sanitary procedure of the year has been fully
equal to the requirements of the sub-district, although
the sanitary staff experienced considerable pressure in
carrying out the disinfection of houses, &c., during the
prevalence of the epidemics before referred to; and I
have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the very
satisfactory manner in which the Sanitary Inspectors have
fulfilled their several duties.
