    SLAUGHTER-HOUSES. The number of slaughter houses remains the same as last year, viz., 18. One new tenant applied to be licensed, which was granted; but he has not made use of the premises, and they are now being used for other business purposes. They are situated as follows :— 11 in Scarrotts Lane. 1 in Coekram’s Yard. 1 in Chain Lane. 1 in High Street. 1 in Pyle Street. 1 in Cross Street. 1 in East Street. 1 in Carisbrooke Road. Seven licences have been renewed for one vear; all of these are for slaughtering swine only. Of the remaining 11, which are registered only (having been in existence a number of years previous to the passing of the Act of Parliament requiring the annual renewal of their licence), 6 are used for slaughtering beasts, 2 for swine, and 3 are at present void. One has been under repair, having had the brick walls lined with cement to a suitable height to prevent blood, &c., being absorbed, and the joints in the floor raked out and well stopped with cement. The lime- washing and drainage have been well attended to, and I have had no cause during the year to report any proprietor for a breach of the regulations. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. It has not been necessary to seek Magisterial aid during the year. UNSOUND FOOD. No complaint as to the food supplies has been con¬ sidered of sufficient importance to report to your Authority,
