CONDEMNED FROZEN MEAT.
UNFIT FOR FOOD. Electric Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. (Received this day at 8.15 a.m.) London, Alay 3. The attention of Air T. A. Coglilan, Agent-General for New South Wales, has been drawn to the fact that 1255 sheep, sent to Liverpool by a Sydney firm, were sold -to a dealer at the Central Alarket; that 400 were despatched to tlie provinces, and the remainder stored at Smithfield. The owner, on examining them, called the chief inspector’s attention to them, and obtained a return of the 400, with the result that 812 were seized as unfit for food, being mainly in a wasted, emaciated condition. The sheep bore the label, which was seized by the consignees, “We declare this meat sold fit for human consumption.” It is pointed out that such label has been regarded as a certificate of official inspection at the time of slaughter.
