COW-HOUSES AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
The application for licences for new Cow-houses were as follows:—
Job Mansfield, Digby Street; William Robert North, White Street;
John Elliott, 1, Vivian Road; William Filley, 5, Virginia Row; J.
Moss, for renewal of licence of 4, Essex Street, Three Colt Lane; Joseph
Wise, Three Colt Lane (who has had his cow-house pulled down to
make space for railway), applied for licence to 87 Arch.
The Sanitary Committee having inspected the premises, it was resolved
not to oppose the applications; consequently, the licence was granted in
each case.
The applications for licences for new Slaughter-houses were as follows:
William Dupuy, 218, Green Street; William Hornsey, 6, Barnet Street;
Thomas Philip Howes, 1, King Street, Bethnal Green Road; Robert
Cleare Mears, 172, Green Street. The premises sought to be licensed
were viewed by the Sanitary Committee, and the applications were
granted, with the exception of Mr. Howes'. This was opposed on the
ground that Mr. Howes, who is a baker in the Bethnal Green Road,
applied for the licence for his son, who is a minor, and because the
premises were ill adapted for the purpose. The licence was opposed, and
consequently refused by the Magistrates.
The number of Cow-houses is 46, viz:—
Bailey, John 46, Somerford Street
Boakes, "William 12, Barnet Street
Brace, Edward Oval, Hackney Road
Bunn, John Lisbon Street
