&c., for this purpose, and to report completion to Surveyor.
Besides the above duties which they have had to perforin from
the very commencement of their appointment, they have had
added to them:
10th.—from the year 1857, to inspect, and report periodically
upon, all slaughter-houses in the Parish; and from the year 1862,
upon all cow-houses and bake-houses as well. In reference to
cow-houses and slaughter-houses they have also to attend
annually before the Justices of the Peace, to oppose any licence
which the Vestry may have determined to oppose, and prior to
the day for granting licences, to serve notices for information on
this point to all the butchers and bakers in the Parish.
Further, there are certain duties which the Inspectors have
had to perform, but from which they are now relieved, or have
to perform to a more limited extent than formerly:
11th.—from March to September of each year to observe the
watering of the various roads, and to report thereon to the
Surveyor; and to keep a register of the number of wet and dry
days during the contract; these duties commenced in March,
1856, and terminated in September, 1864 :
12th,—to superintend and see to the connection of the junctions
with sewers. (This of course relates to works executed

with the works enumerated under head 6.) This duty was performed
up to end of 1865:
13th.—in cases in which roads are about to be taken by the
Parish, to give notice to owners and occupiers along such roads,
to serve notices of apportionment on owners, and if necessary
to summon (this is also included under head 7) to serve
Magistrates' orders and to follow up the cases until all monies
have been obtained. This duty was discharged from 1863 to
