authority under that Act, and that they were also obliged, in
most instances, to be registered under the Contagious Disease
(Animals) Act, 1878, the Metropolitan Board of Works being
the Local authority for the purposes of that Act. In several
instances they submitted to the Bench that as the Metropolitan
Board of Works were satisfied with the condition of their
premises, the opposition of your Board to their being licenced
should be disregarded. The Bench were of opinion that
they could not deal with this question ; but having heard
the evidence as to the grounds of your opposition they, in every
case, gave judgment in your favour. It is greatly to be regretted
that these cases should come before the Bench. We see that at
one time they support all the requirements of the Sanitary Authorities,
at another they decide that the same requirements are unnecessary,
and refuse to support them. It would be far more
satisfactory if the granting of these licences was left to the
jurisdiction of the Sanitary Authorities.
