Onttheevidence it appeared that the prisoaers

been suspected of committing depredations in the
streets. and it was their geoetul practice to go
shout in a cart, and driving a fast trotting horse. Having
been seen loitering about the City by Hann and Lew
two active detective officers belonging to the Fleet-street
station, they were watched, sad when they drove oR
the where., who had also procured a fast home, followed
them to Smith street, Nertbstontcw-ecleare• The hleeeee were seen to take a bale of goods from one of the (heat
Northern hallway vans, and then make off. The officers
pursued them as quickly ea possible, bat as they were going

,
made, they ascertained where the primmer' resided

SEIZURE or UNWHOL[SARE NEAT.
Mr. Layton. the vestry clerk of Islington. asked for an
order for the destruction of some veal and pork that had
been seized on the premises of Mr. W. Johnstoae. Park pie
manufacturer, of Esarix-road (late Lower-road), Islington,
by Dunham, one of the sanitary inspectors for the parish.
The evidence of Dr. Ballard, the medical officer of health,
which was confirmed by the officer Dunham, was that the
two fore quarters of veal were both diseased and putrid.
std were quite unfit for the food of man. The leg of pork
that had been !wired, in addition to being very much bruised
was diseased, and the pig from which it bad been cut bad
altered from hog typhus, a disease very much on the in-
crease in the London piggeries. The meat the officer Dun-
ham stated was intended to be made into pork pies, and in
sassier to Mr. Layton, said he supposed that the veal was
intended for pork pies, as from what be had heard it all de-
pended upon the flavouring.
The Magistrate. having inspected the meet, at OOP made
en order for its destruction.
The owner of the meat, after all the persona had left the
r .urt, came back and said the veal was good, but he was
told he could explain that when he was again before the
COUTt.
