All persons lawfully entitled to admission to have free access to the
premises during the times of slaughter and at all reasonable hours (12).
PENALTIES.—For breach of any of the Bye-laws, 1 to 12 inclusive, whether
by omission, commission, or neglect, £3; and in the case of a continuing
offence, £1 for every day during which such offence is continued after a
conviction for the first offence; and every Court of Summary
Jurisdiction, having Jurisdiction to hear and decide complaints of the
breach of the Bye-laws, may by Summary Order suspend or deprive any
occupier of a Slaughter House altogether of the right of carrying on any
such business, as a penalty for the breach of any one of these Bye-laws
(13–14).
AS TO THE MODE IN WHICH APPLICATION IS TO BE MADE FOR SANCTION TO
ESTABLISH ANEW THE BUSINESS OF A SLAUGHTERER OF CATTLE.—THE APPLICANT to
furnish the “Board” with a plan of the premises and sections of the
building in which it is proposed to carry on such business, drawn to a
scale of a quarter of an inch to the foot, and showing the provision
made, or proposed to be made, for the drainage, lighting, ventilation,
and water supply of the same; and also to furnish a key plan of the
locality, showing the buildings and streets within 100 yards of the
premises, drawn to a scale of five feet to the mile (22).
_Notes_.—It is required that the Slaughter House, in respect of
structure, be brought into conformity forthwith with the Bye-laws (15 to
20); when this has been done, the Bye-laws, (1 to 12), which relate to
the conduct of the business, will principally engage attention. The
points to which attention will have more especially to be given are those
that apply to—
1. The daily and quarterly cleansing.
2. The provision and condition of impermeable and covered vessels for
the reception and removal of blood, offal, &c.
3. The exposure to air of fat, and the regular removal of all parts of
animals, including blood, offal and manure, before the same become
putrid or offensive.
4. The exclusive use of the Slaughter House for slaughtering. (It may
not be used as a lair, or as a stable, or as a cart shed).
5. The exclusion from the “premises” of fowls, pigs, dogs, &c.
6. The detention in the premises for so long only as absolutely
necessary of animals about to be slaughtered. The “Occupier,” it may
be added, is the party responsible for the due execution of the
Bye-laws.
