Read, butcher, was charged in the Police Court to-day, on the information of the borough inspector, with exposing for sale pork that had not been killed at an abattoir or by a bonafide farmer. Evidence was given tiy the borough inspector that he witnessed a pig being slaughtered at defendant's premises and the pork exposed for sale.

He held that the by-law was not unreasonable or partial, and that no Court could read anything to contrary into it. Defendant would be convicted and fined £2, witfe costs. • Defendant gave an undertaking not to repeat the offence.
