REPORT
OF THE
SANITARY COMMITTEE.
We have, in accordance with your Reference to us of the 23rd May last, considered the letter from the Local Government Board, dated the 13th of May, relative to the new Bye-laws for the management of Slaughter-houses within the City of London, agreed to by your Honourable Court on the 14th of March last, and submitted to the Local Government Board for confirmation. Also we have carefully considered the letter of Messrs. Crouch and Spencer, with objections on behalf of the Butchers’ Trade Society, to the said Bye-laws, enclosed in the said letter from the Local Government Board for your observations.
We requested the Medical Officer of Health to give a detailed Report in regard to the objections raised by the Butchers’ Trade Society to the said Bye-laws, and we beg now to submit the same to your Honourable Court.
We have carefully considered the said Report, with the Bye-laws, and the said communications from the Local Government Board.
We have also received and considered a further communication from the Local Government Board, with copy of a letter from Messrs. Crouch and Spencer, enclosing further objections on behalf of the Butchers’ Trade Society to the said Bye-laws, also a Report from a Dr. Whitmore, and letters from certain residents of Aldgate in support of such objections.
We beg to recommend that your Honourable Court concur in the Report of the Medical Officer of Health, and that a copy thereof be forwarded to the Local Government Board in reply to their communication of the 13th ulto.
