THE MARKING OF FROZEN MFAT.
PROPOSED LEGISLATION. (From Ova Own Correspondent.)
LONDON, July 6. I have been able to secure a copy of the bill introduced into the House of Commons by Mr Field, M.P., and backed by several Irish members, to provide for the marking" of imported meat in Ireland. This bill provides that every person selling imported r jroze.n meat or ohilled meat killed outside of Great Britain and Ireland shall deJiver to the buyer an invoice showing what the meat sold really is; that if the meat is sold by auction the purchaser shall be audibly told that he is buying frozen or chilled meat as the case may be; that it should be an offence to sell eueh imported meat when other meat is a£(ked for ; that dealers in imported meat ehall affix a notice to that effect prominently in their shops; and phet the local authorities shall keep a register of such dealers just as they do of vendors of game.
Of course this bill is framed in the interests of the Irish graziers. But it is the thin end of the wedge.
