UNSOUND FOOD.
During the year a regular inspection has
been made of meat slaughtered and offered for
sale in the District, including the stalls in markets
at R.S.A. Factory and Enfield Town, every
week. Fifteen parcels of organs found to be
affected with disease were surrendered by the
owners, and with their permission destroyed.
The following articles were also brought by
the owners to the office and certificates obtained
which the retailer might present to the wholesale
trader as a guarantee of the bad condition of the
articles when requesting to be reimbursed the
amount paid for them, viz.:—
2 casks of fresh herrings.
1 box haddock and whiting.
2 boxes haddock.
A. J. MUNRO,
Inspector of Nuisances.
