There is no Public Abattoir in the District.
At 4 of the Slaughter Houses no slaughtering has been
performed throughout the year.
176 visits have been paid to the Slaughter Houses on the
days fixed for the slaughter of animals or upon the receipt of
notice from the occupiers on other occasions.
Most of the meat supplies are obtained by the local
butchers from the London Meat Markets, so that only a small
number of animals is slaughtered at the private Slaughter
Houses.
