The effect of this will be, to adhere to the several proposed Bye-laws, except that as regards Bye-law No. 10, which is as follows:—
“That the internal surface of the roofs and upper portions of the walls of the Slaughter-houses and Pounds, above the 7 ft. 6 in. of impermeable surface, be washed with quicklime at least once every month.”
It is suggested that it may be so far relaxed, that the monthly limewhiting be required in the summer only, say from May to October, and that in the winter months, say from November to April, the limewhiting be required to be done once in three months.
And as regards Bye-law No. 18, which is as follows:—
“That in case of any diseased or unsound cattle being brought to a Slaughter-house, Pound, or Lair, the occupier shall forthwith give information thereof to the Medical Officer of Health of the City of London.”
It is proposed not to insist upon the retention of the word “unsound,” provided that the animals be slaughtered within a specified time of the occurrence of any accident that may disable them.
All which we submit to the judgment of your Honourable Court.
Dated this 4th day of July, 1876.
