Date of Trial.	Name and Address.	Article.	Where seized and Name of Inspector.	Penalty and Costs inflicted.
Feb. 10	Charles Tattam, Clifton, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.	One carcase of pork and one pig's head, weighing 191 lbs.—diseased. This carcase was badly diseased with advanced generalised tuberculosis. The whole of the glands, especially the pharyngeal, were enormously enlarged and very tubercular. The joints of the right shoulder were greatly enlarged, and had become stiffened from the effects of this disease, and the synorial mem- branes surrounding these joints were freely marked with tuberculous lesions. The pluck was not sent to market, but it was afterwards confiscated at Clifton by my Inspector, and found to be very tubercular.	101, Charterhouse Street, Finsbury (Inspector Billing)	Six weeks' imprisonment, without the option of paying a fine.
Feb. 12	Joseph Brooks, Westbury, Wells, Somersetshire	Four quarters of beef and one beef head and tongue, weighing 566 lbs.— diseased. This beef was diseased with parturient fever, and was in a very bad state indeed —the flesh was almost black in colour, very sticky to the touch, full of blood, and smelt very offensively. The whole of the glands were enlarged and badly congested. It was admitted in evidence that the cow in question had died several days after calving.	109, Charter- house Street, Finsbury (Inspector Billing)	£50.
Mar. 9	Samuel John Cory, Germansweek, Devonshire	One carcase of mutton, weighing 42 lbs.— diseased. This was the carcase of an ewe sheep which had suffered from some wasting disease, the carcase being practically a frame and what little meat there was on it was very dropsical.	93, Cowcross Street, Finsbury (Inspector Billing)	£25 and 4s. costs.
