4. On the 27th February, a fowl said to have been
bought the previous night from a man standing
in Bethnal Green Road was brought to the
office by a purchaser, a woman. The fowl looked
very plump and seemed a heavy bird but was
found subsequently to be stuffed with sand and
sacking. Apart from this stuffing the fowl was
in a most emaciated condition. A condemnation
order was granted by the Magistrate as a
necessary precedent to taking legal proceedings
but the vendor could not be traced.

Sand.
A post mortem was conducted by Dr. John Bate
on the body of the fowl which was found to be
roupy and emaciated and had probably died a
natural death, or at best had been slain to
prevent its dying.
