ANALYST,
Under the provisions of the 23rd and 24th Vic., cap. 84, (An
Act for preventing the Adulteration of Articles of Food and
Drink,) the Vestry appointed their Medical Officer Analyst for
the district, and distributed printed handbills for the information
of the parishioners and the public, as to the provisions of the Act,
the mode of procedure, &c., with the view to give it the effect
intended by the Legislature.*
Though the ordinary duties of the Vestry are of an important
character, there have been no other proceedings during the year to
call for special remark, the reader is therefore referred to the
annexed Account in abstract, and the Medical Officer's Report,
for the information which is more immediately the object of
the Vestry's Annual Report.
By order,
ROBERT PAGET.
Vestry Clerk.
August. 1862.
* The public not having availed themselves of the provisions of the Act, the appointment
has been resigned subsequently to the period embraced in this report.
