Sharp, reported by me to the Court on the
5th June, your Solicitor issued a summons
against a dealer residing at Attleborough,
Norfolk, to appear at the Guildhall Justice
Room on the 4th July, but on the previous
day a telegram was received from the local
Superintendent of Police, that the unfortunate
man had committed suicide, and that, upon
a Coroner's inquest being held, a verdict of
temporary insanity was recorded.
On the 13th December a Captain in Her
Majesty's Forces, living near Rugby, was
summoned at the Guildhall Justice Room for
sending four quarters of diseased beef to the
Central Market, and was convicted and fined
£20 and £3 3s. costs, with the alternative of
one month's imprisonment.
