REPORT OF JOSEPH EDWARDS, Sanitary Inspector.
Vestry Offices, Lower Road,
3rd February, 1894.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present you the Eighteenth Annual Report, upon the work
done during the year ending 31st Docember, 1893. Twelve summonses for adulteration have
been taken out (under the Sale of Food and Drugs' Act, 1875) and defendants fined in each case.
By resolution of the Vestry, 6th June, 1893, proceedings were taken against a
firm in Rotherhithe Street for an infringement under the 23rd Section of the Public Health
(London) Act, 1891 (Smoke Consumption); a previous conviction having been proved against
them, the magistrate imposed a fine of £10 and 2s. costs.
