ALDGATE SLAUGHTERHOUSES.
No further action has been taken with reference to the abolition of these
slaughterhouses, which, though a most objectionable feature within the City,
are, as a general rule, kept in a clean and decent condition.
They are visited daily by an Inspector, and any infraction of the Bye-laws
at once dealt with.
In one case, where the right of slaughter had lapsed, it was found that
killing had recommenced.
The premises had changed hands, and there was some evidence to show
that the new owner believed that he had acquired the property with rights of
slaughtering.
This having been reported, the occupier was warned in writing of his
liability for slaughtering in unlicensed premises.
On the 22nd and 25th November, the owner of one of the slaughterhouses
in Aldgate had certain beasts consigned to him, some of which were in a
doubtful condition. It was arranged that they should be inspected after
slaughter, with the result that, on the 26th one carcass and offal was seized,
two on the 27th, and two on the 28th.
