“EXTREME CARELESSNESS”
FAILURE TO DESTROY DISEASED MEAT.
Dominion Special.
Dunedin, November 10.
In the Magistrate’s Court to-day, Oram and Beer were charged that being the licensees of a slaughterhouse at Waitati, they had failed to destroy a diseased carcase in such a wav that it could not be used for human consumption. Other charges against defendants were that they had failed to keep their knives, saw and cleaver clean, and that they had failed to stamp on every quarter of a carcase the official registered number. The Magistrate said that he would accept with some little doubt defendant’s explanation that the meat was not intended for human consumption, but the whole circumstances under which the beast had been killed showed extreme carelessness. D was most important that the inspector should be notified of any diseased beast, and it was extraordinary that an experienced butcher should leave a beast in such a state in the slaughter-house, and take no steps to dispose of the offal. Under such circumstances, the offal should have been destroyed. Defendants were convicted on the first charge and finer! £lO and 7s. costs. They were convicted without penalty on the other two charges.
