MEAT INSPECTION REGULATIONS 1963
There are five abattoirs in the borough and Table No. 28
shows the number of carcases dealt with during the year.
There was no variation in the charges—which are the maximum
allowable—made by the Council during the year for meat
inspection at the slaughterhouses. They are:—Cattle and horses
2/6d. each, calves and pigs 9d., sheep and goats 6d.
Court proceedings were instituted against the owners of one
of the slaughterhouses in respect of four contraventions of certain
of these Regulations. Fines totalling £40 0s. 0d., were imposed
and costs amounting to £5 5s. 0d. awarded to the Council.
The Council also took proceedings against a Director of this Company
for two offences under Section 105 of the Food and Drugs
Act, 1955, for obstructing a Public Health Inspector. He was fined
in all, £10 0s. 0d., for these offences. He was also fined £20 0s. 0d.
for smoking in the slaughterhouse (Reg. 37) and £5 0s. 0d. for an
offence under Section 42 of the Offences against the Person Act,
1861, for Assault.
