FROZEN MEAT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —In reply to the . letter in your issue of March 28 signed “Jealousy,” so far as Smithfield market is .concerned no other meat except that from this province is sold as Canterbury mutton or lamb. The position is, however, somewhat different when the meat is being retailed to the public, and in this case there is no doubt a considerable ainount of misrepresentation. I have come across instances in which large posters are put up in the shop windows advertising “ finest Canterbury mutton,” whereas none, or practically none, of the meat which is being sold has conie from this , province. One glaring case I came across quite recently, of a firm of butchers in a Lancashire town trading as “The Canterbury Meat Company,” but practically the whole of their stock consisted of River Plate meat. It is these misrepresentations by retailers that we are anxious to checkmate, but the task is not an easy one.—l am, &c., W.WEDDEL.
