CHRISTMAS LUXURIES FOR THE POUR.

Yesterday an investigation respecting a stolen sow took
place at this Office before Mr. Fielding and Mr. White.
It appeared that on the 26th of December, Mr. Carter, a
butcher, at Chelsea-market, had his premises broken into,
and a foreign sow, big with young, value about 121 stolen.
The sow was the only one of the breed in England, which
rendered the loss inure severe, and though every exertion to
recover her was used, no iiitehlgesice was hail WI last week,
when Mr. Carter was passing by the shop of a man named
Joseph Alsup, who it seems is a dealer in any thing, in Jew's-
row, Chelsea, he saw some pouk of an extraordinary colour,
and cut up in different manner to a butcher's method, ex-
posed fur sale in the window. Conceiving it was his sow,
he examined the pork, anal found it was quite unfit fur nee.
He pm information to Geo. Foyle, who discovered that Al-
sop had purchased the carcass (mom Rith. Heddington, laud-
turd of the Maidenhead Inn, in Hslf Moon-street, Piccadilly.
The officers went to apprehend Heddington, and met him at
has barn home on Sunday night, and informed him of the
charge he luau against him. Heddington promised to attend
yesterday of his own accord, and the officers trusting to his
word, he accordinly came forward as lie promised.
Mr. Carter stated the case to the Magistrate, soul deelarail
that the pork, in the state it was sold, although the sow was
fat, was unfit for use.
Mr. Fielding called ution Heddington to account fur the
111U11114e lie had got the rook. Iledditsgtun told him he had
purchased a sow from a fellow with whom he had hero tic.
quainttd at N 0.9, Air-street, St. James's, for 2/. and sold it
killed to Alsop fur 3/. le. 6d. ; he did out know the sow was
stolen.
Alsop admitted he knew the pork to be unfit for use ; and
that lie gut 9J. per lb for part of it.
'1 he Magistrate censured the conduct of Akop and lied-
dingiun in very serest terms but as the thief was nut in cus-
tody, he consented to their ltberatiou ou promising to at-
tend when again called upon, and told the officer to &idol
the past of the pork which had not beets disposed of, at the
same tuna expressing his fears of the rest breeding AU in-
(robot amongst the uufurtunatc consumers.
