The sale of milk which renders dairy premises subject to registration
does not necessarily constitute the carrying 011 of a trade involving the
registration of the dairyman. On the other hand, the sale of unopened
bottles of milk by shopkeepers from premises not registrable as dairy
premises has been held sufficient to make it compulsory for such shopkeepers
to be registered as dairymen.
In the Act of 1915 referred to, the expression "dairy" includes
a milk store, milk shop, or other place from which milk is supplied
on, or for, sale or in which milk is kept or used for purposes of sale
or manufacture into butter, cheese, dried milk, or condensed milk for
sale, and, in the case of a purveyor of milk who does not occupy any
premises for the sale of milk, includes the place where he keeps the
vessels used by him for the sale of milk, but does not include a shop from
which milk is not supplied otherwise than in the properly closed and
unopened receptacles in which it was delivered to the shop, or a shop or
other place in which milk is sold for consumption on the premises only.
The expression "dairyman" includes any occupier of a dairy, or any
purveyor of milk; and the expression "purveyor of milk" includes a
seller of milk, whether wholesale or by retail.
The number of premises in respect of which persons are registered
as purveyors is 62, comprising 43 dairies, 5 restaurants and coffee shops,
and 14 general shops.
During the year 163 inspections were made and 5 notices were
served.
