The occupier of No. 19, Battery Street, was summoned before Mr. TS. Whyte Smith for carrying on an offensive trade without a license. It was stated that seven or eight people were seen working on rags when Sanitary Inspector Seddon visited the place some time ago.
Dr. H. A. Fawcett stated that cotton waste, fragments of singlets, etc., found on the premises con- stited rags and they might have been owned by people suffering from infectious diseases. Anything textiles that carried germs, said Dr. Fawcett, might be described as "dirty" rags.
His Worship pointed out that such argument would make a clean singlet a dirty rng.". Dr. Fawcett replied that new singlets were not pulled to bits as the rags were. It was this pulling to pieces that was dangerous because of the dust and
