although witness thought it was bad, and this lamb,
Legg told him, was going to be used for pigs' foo I.—
Be-examined : Would swear the lamb in the slaughter-
house was unfit for human food —Mr. J. Travers, Mr.
Eneor's clerk, was at the Fair Ground on Wednesday,
and said Mr. Groves and Legg bought lambs on that
day. Legg gave ss. for this lamb, an unscund price,
he should any. They had many of these thin*
seat in by the farmers, who did not know what
to do with them, so many of them died. Could
tell the name of the farmer if desired; but
was he bound to?—The Bench did not press
for an answer. The lowest Mr. Groves gave
was 15s. 6.1. for a lamb, Did not deliver this lamb or
give • delively order; they trusted the people who
same to the market that they were honest people and
seldom had • mistake. Did not ee the lamb delivered,
or know how it went. Mr. Groves is not mixed up
with Legg's things; Mr. Foree pays for what Legg
buys. Could not tell who took away the stock;
directly the sale was over he had enough to do with
the amounts—Mr. Howard then addressed the Bench
on the two cases, which the Mayor said the Bench
considered as distinct ones.--Mr. Howard urged that
Mr. Groves neither suffered this to be done nor was
there time to give information to the public. Every-
thing they had heard with reference to the Fair Field
must be abandoned—all about Mr. Day staying there
and the price given—because Mr. Day could not
identify the lamb sold there as being the lamb found
in the slaughter.hsuse. The only question was
about the animal in the slaughter-house. Mr. Groves
had distinct placed, with no communication, there
Is no public slaughter-honse, and Mr. Lsgg pays
Mr. Groves so much per hoed for all stock slaughtered
on his premises. This lamb was simply blown' in
order to get off the skin, and it was not prepared for
human food.—He called James Caplin, who kill' for
Mr. Legg, Mr. Groves, and others. On Wednesday,
eh oat five o'clock, there was • lamb on • hurdle on the
floor; It was brought from Underhill. To go into the
glom:than-house they were bound to go into the public
i•treet. I. the slaughter-house he killed it in
the presance of Mr. Blake, Mr. Legg, and Mr.
Groves's chap. Mr. Legg said it was no go .'d,
an.l they were to take it away for the pigs;
but it wan flown in order to get the skin off. It
was cut in two, and put up-' a furnlc3 used for food
for the pigs. —Croes-examinel : Did not go to the
F Lir Ground for thi. clrc tie ; la first saw it down
under-hill in the Friary, whlike Mr. Geo, el keep*
stock, and where ha went for it with Letg. Could kill
and dress a sheep in ten iniuutes or a quarter of an
hour for the shop; hut this one was not dressed at all.
, Always blew sheep before skinning them, as the skin
I oomes off easier. Had not washed this sheep at all,
merely puled ill the jacket, which was done
before the body was opened. Legg told him first to
take off the skin, and chuck the body for the pigs.
It was cut in half, and the entrails taken away,
because it was to be boiled up. It was done for the
purpose of giving it to the pigs, he might put it on a
hurdle underneath; but could not say it would be
always. The value of such a carcass for pip might be
Ss. or 4. ,• but had never sold one. Had killed also
for Mr. Hayward.—By Mr. Howard: Got 41. a head
for killing sheep, 2s. 61. for cows, 61 or 9.1. for
calves, and Is. for pigs.--James Brake, of Burton
Dairy-house, also declared the carcase was that of •
sheep. He saw Capita drive the animal to the slaugh-
ter-house, and heard Legg say "If it is no good, leave
it for the pigs." It was not cheesed for human food,
and be told the inspector so.—Mr. Howard said he
had two or three other witnesses, whom, how-
ever, he would di-penes with.— The Bench then
retired, and on their return, the Mayor said the Bench
could not help thinking, and there was no doubt in their
mind:. that the lamb was taken to Groves's slaughter-
house 'for the purpose of being offered for human food.
Referring to the bye-laws, His Worship said Groves,
being the licensed person who held the slaughter-
house, was liable. There had been previous com-
plaints against him, and was fined £5 and costs.—
The bench had not sufficient evidence that the lamb
was being prepared for human food, though they bad
no doubt of it, and they dismissed the summons against
