Frozen Meat.

'<•*■ TPeb Pbess Association.] WELLINGTON, Fbb. 23. Mr Peter Dawson, whiskey manufacturer, writing from Glasgow to a friend here, who forwarded him carcases of mutton and lamb,' says:— "Your sheep arrived here on -Saturday after the office was shut. The cleaner took it in. It lay in the office till Tuesday, and was sent to the house on that day. On Wednesday, to breakfast I had chops from it, and they were as fine as ! any mutton I ever tasted. The quality of the gigot also was Al. The lamb waß^n the very best condition ; and the only point I can bring to your notice is, that it was not so well killed as in thib country. For instance, pudding was left in the opening at the tail and part of the large vein at the baok, which has direct communication with the lungs; also, the neck was not so well oleaned as we are aoenstomed to. The neck and opening above the kidneys where the pudding was left, so far as decomposi- , tion goes, were the only parts showing signs, and these were solely caused by the evident careless butchering. Thb is a point which might be carefully noted as important from a keeping point of view. The lamb was all round as fine as anything of this country 'B production, and if the quality is that usually shipped will undoubtedly command trade." '
