veal and destroyed the carcass by
pouring kerosene over the meat.
The proprietors of the market said
they had purchased the animal from
Lyman Friedman of Hallet street.
Friedman said he purchased the meat
in New Milford. His intention he
says, was to keep the animal for
breeding but that one of his workmen
brough the calf to the slaughter house
without his knowledge of the fact.
Friedman was given the benefit of the

supposed to be examined and stamped

examination of all meat markets in
the city will be made by the health
department and should any dealers be
found violating the law relative to bob
veal, prosecutions will follow.
