Returns for private slaughterhouses cannot be obtained with
the same accuracy as those for the public slaughterhouses. The
number of animals slaughtered in the private slaughterhouses for
the whole Borough may be put approximately as:—
Cattle. Sheep. Pigs. Calves. Total.
600 5,000 10,800 3,000 . 19,400
which number added to that for the public slaughterhouses gives a
grand total for the Borough of 48,870.
