SEIZURE OF UNWHOLESOME FOOD.
On Friday, November 25th, at about 6 o'clock p.m.,
Sanitary Inspector W. Brown, reported to me that he had
noticed at No. 158, King Street West, in the occupation
•of Mr. Thomas Holton, there was some pork which he
thought I ought to inspect. I at once visited the premises
and found in a small room, in connection with the shop,
two pieces of pork consisting of the whole of the vertebral
column, including a portion of the ribs and adjacent parts.
The pork was of a livid colour on the skin, such livid
colour being produced, in my opinion, from the toxic
poison of a zymotic disease, and being totally inconsistent
with a healthy condition of the animal from which the
pork was taken. I ordered the pork to be seized, and it
was conveyed the following morning to the West London
Police Court and ordered by the magistrate to be
destroyed.
