protection of meat from contamination by dirt and flies in shops,
on stalls and during transit. Forty-five notices were served for
contraventions of the Regulations. Legal proceedings taken under
the Regulations against the occupier of a butcher's shop for failing
to keep his meat store in a clean condition were adjourned sine die
to enable the defendant to put the premises in a good state of repair
and cleanliness.
