Breach of Slaughter-house Bye-Laws.— A butcher
was fined three pounds, at the West London Police Court, in
November, on the prosecution of your Vestry, for a breach of
the fifth bye-law of the 1875 code; viz., for not providing proper
receptacles for blood. The Sanitary Inspector had seen the
blood running into the drain. It may be mentioned that among
other requirements of the new bye-laws referred to in another
part of this report, is one for the provision of duplicate sets of
receptacles for blood, offal, dung &c., in order to the removal
of all such offensive matters from the licensed premises in the
closed receptacles, a plan whereby nuisance in removal and in
conveyance through streets will be prevented, and one which
should be enforced in regard to the removal and conveyance
through streets of all offensive trade refuse.
