THE SLAUGHTER AND COW-HOUSES IN ISLINGTON, 1891-92.
At the Annual Licensing in October, 1891, there were 72
applications for the renewal of licenses to Slaughter-houses, 70 of
which were granted, and two were refused upon objections being raised
by the County Council to the premises.
For the renewal of licenses to Cow-houses, 32 applications were
made, 31 were granted, and one refused on account of the premises not
having been used as a Cow-shed for some years.
The annual inspection of these places, prior to the licensing,
proved them to he generally in a satisfactory condition.
