had been prepared in room as above. I seized the meat, and took
the same to the police-court.
Owner was accordingly summoned, and on consenting to have the
brawn destroyed, the summons was withdrawn.
On the 7th March, I was summoned to the Thames Police Court
to show cause why the Magistrate's order made, closing the premises
4, Prospect Place, as unfit for human habitation, should not be cancelled,
as these premises had undergone sanitary repair. On inspection
with yourself, it was found that several sanitary works were still outstanding.
The work having been completed, the order was rescinded.
Upon the application for renewals of the annual licenses, in October,
the Cow and Slaughterhouses were forthwith re-inspected, and the
works, where necessary, executed.

I have further to report, that in the month of January, 1896, seven
bodies of persons who died, at the Poplar Hospital, were removed to
the Poplar Mortuary, for the convenience of relatives, and the holding
of inquests thereon, when needed. The Coroner's officer, on the part
of the London County Council, has undertaken the future removals.
By direction of Mr. Young, the Board's analyst, I obtained 52
samples of food, &c., for analysis.
Legal proceedings were taken against one vendor, which resulted
in a penalty being inflicted of 30s. with 23s. costs. The vendor in
another case, to avoid prosecution, gave up the business, and moved
away from the neighbourhood.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
RICHARD E. MINERS, Asso. San. Inst.,
Sanitary Inspector
South Bromley Division.
To the Medical Officer of Health, Poplar and Bromley.
