of the licensing Magistrate the provisions of the
Building Act in 1844, according to which no place
in immediate proximity to dwelling houses not
previously so used, can be occupied as a slaughterhouse,
and the fact that in two instances applications
for licences to slaughter cattle were made in
respect of buildings which had for some years not
been so occupied.
On the 31st of October I attended the Special

question were within the distance prescribed by the
statutes, the licenses were refused.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. BURDON-SANDERSON.
