POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

SENDING DISEASED CATTLE TO SM/TIMELD MAR-'
SET TOE SALE.—Yesterday George Tre.v, 26, one of
the officers specially appointed to attend the market days
in Smithfield, applied to Mr. Alderman Musgrove for
his authority to destroy a carcass which was unfit for
human food. He said that about a quarter before seven
o'clock that morning he was in Smithfield, in company
with Russell, another constable, when he saw a cow
which he ausne, ted was diseased, being driven into the
market by William Fuller, 869 drover. He went up
and asked to whom it belonged, and was informed that,
the owner was a Mr. Cross, cowkeeper, of Collier street,
Islington. The cow was taken to the Ram Inn-yard,
and Mr. Nice, the veterinary suwgeon, was sent for, who
examined the animal, and pronounced it unfit for human
consumption."
Mr. Josiah Nice, veterinary sargenn, deposed to having
examined the animal, which was in a moss emaciated
condition, and was in the last stage of pleuro pneumonia,
and altogether unfit for human beings to eat.
Alderman MUSGUOTH ordered the carcass to be de-
stroyed, and said that he was sure that at this season nf
the year the public was looking to the officers to use
their utmost vigilance to
in addition to others they wpreerveennit
liable to, more par-
ticul zrly at the present time, wh-n the cholera was so
bad.

A SECOND CASE.—George Rumen sail that about six
o'clock that morning, he observed a sheep in one of the
pens in a very rotten state, and, on inquiry, found that it
belonged to the owner of the pen—a Mr. Horsey,
asles-
man in the market. The drover, who was there, said
that his master would be back presently, but witness had
it instantly removed.
Alderman MUSGROVE—Was this the only one in the
pen diseased? Russell—lt was.
Alderman Musonovz—And was it amongst a num-
ber of others? Russell—Yes.
Mr. Nice said he examined the sheep, and it was quite
rotten, and bad been so about one month.
Alderman MUSGROVE—Then the parties sending it to
market for sale must have been aware that it was in a
bad state. _ _

Mr. Nice—Most certainly.
Alderman Musonovz ordered it to be destroyed. and
obaervOd that it' was very desirable such a practice
shoald be put a stop to. If it could be shown that the
pestles who had sent it for sale had a guilty knowledge,
they would subject themselves to both flue and hum-
soument. It was a guidon with him whether the•ma-
gistraws ought not to go farther. and in a cases order
the City Solicitor to prefer in etwent• spina 0030
