"14th October, 1890.
"Sale of Food & Drugs Acts.
"Sir,
"The Sanitary and Special Purposes Committee of
"the Council have had under consideration a letter from
"the Vestry of Hampstead, suggesting that, with a view
"to the more effectual administration of the Sale of
"Food & Drugs Acts in the County of London, particu"lars
of all prosecutions for adulteration, and all appeals
"should be reported by Vestries and District Boards to
"the London County Council, and that the Council
"should collate such particulars, and from time to time
"send them to the Vestries and District Boards.
"The Vestry of Hampstead points out that, if this be
"done, information obtained in one district as to what
"articles are adulterated within the meaning of the Acts
"will be available in all, and that the Vestries will be in
"a position to refer to decisions given by London
"Magistrates and in cases of appeal.
