a trainman lamed et the imams of the Commemosers of
Sewers, charging him with seeding four quarters of a
diseased cow to market, end causing the same to be exposed
for sale.

Mr. Woodall, from the office of Mr. Baylis, the solicitor
to the Sowers Commissioo, appeared to prosecute ; and Mr.
F. Rawlings appeared far the defendant.

The meat in question was seized on the 6th of February
by Wm. Wylds,}oce of the inspectors of meat and slaughter-
house" under the oommissioo, and was brought by him to
this court, and it was condemned by Sir Robert Carden,
who happened to be sitting at the time. At the time it was
seized it was hanging in the slaughter-bouse of Mr. Kelly,
a meat oaken= in Aldgat• market, and from the informa-
tion given by that gentleman the present_ proceedings were
taken. The cow, it appeared, belonged to Major Rural, wbo
has a farm in Essex, and on the 4th of February his gardener,
• man named Eklred, found the animal in one of the fields
lying down, and apparently in a very bad state, and not
likely to recover. Ons of the men in the mune employ cut
the animal's threat, after which Eldred seat for the de-
faudant, who it appeared was in the service of Mr. Earl, a
farmer in the same neighbourhood, to dress It, as he wen
used to such work. The carcass was dressed by the de-
fendant at Eldred's request, and according to his (Eldred's)
statement, the defeadantlibought igof him for JOB., acid he
did not know what wee to be done with it.

On being aresneramined, however, by Mr. Rawlings. he
said he saw the note that wee sent with the meat before it
was sent, and the sgreement betweee him and the defendant
was that the letter was to have the body for 305., which be
at first declined to do, am he was • poor man, and was afraid
be might Ices by it, bat he promiesd defendant that if he
did not get 30s. for it be would gore him ss. for his trouble.
It append from the evidence of Mr. Kelly od his shop-
man that the meat was put on the board is the front al the
shop before any one was there on the morning of Thunday,
the 6th of February, and that it was NM directly that the
meat wee sot good, and it was removed to the slaughter.
house is masequeuce, and ma not exposed for sale.
Mr. Rawlings said the information that was set forth in
the summon., which was "being exposed for sale," was not
proved, as 'rowdies to the evidence the meat was not ex.
posed for sale, but was evidently removed on amount of in
being bad.
Sir R. Carden thought the charge as it was contained in
the summons was not proved, and he most dismiss the rum-
mies. It seemed to him, however, that the party who had
been before him was the oar least to blame in the matter,
who bad bees made the dupe of others. He could °sly say
that if the carts whom he thought most culpable bad bees
brought before him, sod the cue had been proved, he should
have dealt with the cam as severely as he could, and should
have committed him to prison for one month without the
option of a Bee.
Art Arr J. Cook was brought tip to nadargo a preli-
m examination upon a thine of obtaining, by mains of
for orders, a gold watch, value 171. 175., and also a silver
watch and gold chain, from Mr. Bennett, watch-maker,
Cheapside.
The prisoner war remanded.
