The effect of these and preceding convictions,
has been to lessen the quantity of diseased meat
supplied to the City markets. In 1861, there were
31,412 lbs. of meat seized beyond the amount
of the present year; and the quantity of meat
from animals-that had died from natural causes
has declined from 33,619 lbs. in the year to
13,941 lbs.
