    Having, with the aid of this additional information, further considered the whole question, we referred it to the SoHcitor, the Medical Officer, and the Engineer, to consider the communications from the Local Government Board, and draw up and submit to us suitable Bye-laws for Slaughter-houses, both new and existing. This having been done, we very carefully considered and revised the same, and we now beg to recommend that the Bye-laws approved by your Honourable Court on the 1st of December, 1874 (see Appendix, page 43), and subsequently submitted to the Local Government Board, be repealed, and that the follow- ing Bye-laws be substituted, and be advertised, in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Parlia- ment, and be sent to the Local Government Board for confirmation. Bye-law I. That each Slaughter-house be paved with asphalte, laid with proper slopes and channels towards a trap- ped gully, and, where practicable, such gully shall be outside the Slaughter-house and Pound.
