Sausage Meat In Question WZ. Preu Aten. —Copyright? RABAUL (New Guinea), May 19. A charge against a Rabaul shopkeeper of having illegally imported a consignment of tinned sausages has been dismissed because the prosecution failed to prove that the meat in the sausages was not human. Cheung Paul Lun had been charged with being concerned in importing an animal declared under the Animal Diseases and Control Ordinance as a prohibited importation. The charge ’ referred to “that part of a sausage made up of meat contrary to the ordinance,” and “animal,” under the ordinance, does not include human meat Defence counsel (Mr P. Lefevre) contended that the meat in the sausages could have been human flesh, and said that it was up to the prosecution to prove that it was not human meat.
This, the Magistrate ruled, it had not done. But Lun was fined 8250 on a charge, under the Quarantine Ordinance, of importing roasted peanuts and bamboo leaves.
