Food Inspection.—'There was no change in the method of carrying out the
work of food inspection during the year. The special Saturday night and Sunday
inspections in market streets, etc., were continued, and in carrying them out
inspector Smith received the assistance of other members of the staff having the
necessary qualifications and experience.
On a great many occasions the inspector was called by vendors to examine
articles of food under Section 47 (8) of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, and

The articles dealt with in this way are set out below.
