A 1)0551T BOTCHY! COXIIITTILD TOR SENDING BAD
MEAT TO LONDOIL—At the Guildhall, London, on
Wednesday, Thomas Sharp, butcher, residing at Yarn-
hull, WAS summoned before Alderman Causton for
sending the carcases of two cows to the London market
for aide as human food, the same being diseased and
unfit for the food of man. —The defendant pleaded guilty
to the charge.—Mr. Baylis, solicitor to the Commis-
sioners of hewers, said the defendant usually sent calves
and pip to the London market; but, at the latter end
of last month, be killed a cow which be had had for a
eonaiderable time suffering from illness, and sent it to
the London market for human food when it was totally
unfit. He also bought a cow of a man named Bennett
for 455., which was in the same condition, killed that,
and bent it to Newgate market for sale. Unfortunately
Bennett had not done anything to bring him within the
law, although he was really worse than the defendant.
He appeared to be ping ab.sit the country buying up
all the diseased and dying cows he could, and selling
them to small butchers to send up to the London
market. In this cave be purchased the cow for
awysu, 1,1•6 Mal uuly u. wouru uuwu, sem
it for 35a, to be sent to London.—Evidence was called
which proved that the moat was wholly unfit for human
food.—Alderman 4,oauston asked whether the Weisman
found any sale for each meat? —llr. Baylis said there
were some salesmen who sent notices to small butchers
in the country stating that there was a good sale for
plain beef," which meant the greatest rubbish the
country could produce.—Alfred Powell, foreman to Mr.
Shreeves, the salesman to whom the meat wee sent, said
there were people who would boy the meat, but he did
not know what they did with it. —Mr. Fisher, clerk of
Nesvgate market, said that that Glass of meat was sold
for making German sausages and saveloys.—Aldorman
Canaan declined to impose a fine, bat sentenced
defendant to fourteen days' imprisonment—Bennett,
who was present in court, was severely reprimanded for
the part he had taken in the transaction.
