CHARGE AGAINST A BUTCHER.—Joseph Knowles,
butcher, was charged with having diseased meat
in his slaughterhouse, on the 17th April, 1878. Mr.
Holberton appeared on behalf of the Local Board.
and Mr. Stokes defended. Josiah Beckley, Inspector
said that he visited the defendant's slaughterhouse
on the 17th April, 1878. Defendant was in the act
of knocking down a cow which appeared very poor
and emaciated. He saw it again after it was
dressed, and it appeared in a diseased state. The
lungs had grown to the side and it was unfit for
human food. He afterwards visited the place with
the medical officer, and the meat was destroyed by
an order from the magistrates. Mr. H. D'Arcy
Ellis, surgeon, said that he examined the beast and
considered the lungs in a very advanced state of
disease and from many other appearances con-
sidered' it in a state of consumption, and it would
have died in a short time if it had not been killed.
He considered it unfit for human food. Mr. Stokes
addressed the Bench for the defence, and contended
that the cow was bought in the open market. It
was a lean one, and he should prove that the cow
was not unfit foe human food, and called,a witness
named Davis, who said he was a farmer and cattle
dealer, residing at Wolverhampton. In April 1878
he sold the cow in question to the defendant. It
was an old Alderney and he sold rt tor 47 . 'rue
cow did not appear to be unhealthy or diseased.
The cow did not appear to be suffering from
"grapes." Fat cows often have "grapes." Cross-
examined: I have often sold the defendant cows.
It was an old Alderney cow, and the price of £7
was a fair price.—Abraham Green, veterinary
surgeon, Dudley, said that from the appearance of
the cow as described to him, and the fact of the
C3W'S suffering from "grapes" did not prove that
the cow was in a diseased state and unfit for human
food. He considered the meat fit for fwd. This
being the case, the magistrates retired to consider
their decision and on returning Colonel Fletcher
said, they had given considerable attention to the
case, and felt there was it doubt in the case, and
should give the defendant the benefit of the doubt
and dismiss the summons
