On Friday.last a woman was observed drag-
ging her child, with a stocking tied round its neck, across
a brick-field in the vicinity of St. John's Church, it is
supposed with the intention of drowning it, which she
would no doubt have accomplished but for the timely in-
terposition of <a young woman, who was very fortunately
on the spot. On unbinding the stocking, the neck of the
child was found to be quite black. The 'child is now,
however, recovered. The unnatural mother was taken into
custody._

UNWHOLESOME MEAT.—Often have we
raised our voice against the infamous practice which so ex-
tensively prevails of exposing unwholesome carrion for sale
in our markets, but to little purpose. Baillie Luke, one
of the most intelligent and public-spirited of our Magi-
strates, having been made thoroughly sensible of the extent
of the villainous practice, directed the new inspector of the
market, and Sergeant Ludovick Sutherland, of the Police,
on. Saturday last, to make a search for diseased meat ; and
what was the result ? no fewer than 50 stones of meat, of
the most shocking quality, were seized, chiefly in the
suburbs, and brought to the Council Chamber! ! The
display of bad meat on that night, we are assured, was
only an average display ; and, assuming that double the
quantity of meat is bought on a Saturday that is bought on
any other day of the week, and that the searcher discover-
edfor sale, (which is assuming to much),
all that was
here must be bought and consumed weekly in. Edinburgh,
175 stones of the most abominable and poisonous offal--
Yesterday 'Thomas Ingram, Calton, and John Lonnie,
Castle-hill, were accused, before the Magistrates, of ex-
posing portions of the meat which was seized on Saturday.
The latter appeared by a person of the name of Fraser, who
said the beef exposed by Lonnie was bought from him.—
Bailie Luke fined Ingram and Fraser in the sum of Si.
each. A James Young, Cowgate, mcho was summoned,
failed to appear. A John Elliot, Pleasance, was also
summoned ; but the case was continued against him, as he
promised to produce the pere,w from whom be purchased
his vile commodity. The case of one culprit, who had
exposed the carcase of.a cow which died in the calving,
was remitted to the Sheriff, as the offence was within the
Sheriff's jurisdiction. If I3ailie Luke proceeds in the
course he is upon, he will do himself infinite credit—which
is a matter of small concern to us ; and he will do a vast
deal of good to the cornmunit ---Edininiryh Weekly
