The inspector reported for the past month that he had investigated two cases of cruelty to horses, two cases to cattle, three to dogs, and had to issue warnings where necessary. Also he had three cases of dogs being run over, one of which had to be destroyed. He visited the Freezing Works, saleyards and auction marts and warned people for carrying poultry in bags without ventilation. He also had observed that some lorries were carrying top-heavy loads of sheep, which swing too much turning corners. The next committee meeting is to be arranged.
