Slaughter-houses.— These were inspected by the Public
Health Committee and myself on October 9th, prior to licensing.
There were 4 in the Upper Wards, and 5 in the Lower, and were
kept by 9 butchers. They were found in good order, and no complaints
were made of them during the year by the neighbours.
Cow-houses.—These were inspected at the same time as the
Slaughter-houses. There were 4 in the Upper District, and 4
in the Lower, and were kept by the same number of cow-keepers.
They were in very good order, and the animals were fine and
healthy; the cows were 41 in the Upper Wards, and 55 in The
Lower.
Bake-houses.—These were inspected twice in the year, viz.,
in June and December. They were 58 in number, and found clean
and in good order.
