Our Frozen Mutton.

MORE FAVOURABLE TESTIMONY. "We learn from the Lyttelton Times that some time ago a gentlemen; m 1 Cbristchurck inquired from a friend m England how the New Zealand irozen mutton was liked* The "friend replied that he had not even had a chance of se*ibg the New Zealand meat,- but was grimly conscious -of the fact that for what prime mutton he did get, he was paying Is 2d per pound.^Thereupon a carcase was sent from here as an average sample, and the letter of acknowledgment, to hand yesterday, was as follows : — " Many thanks for the frozen mutton, which duly arrived, and which I inspected at the butcher's shop here before it was cutinp. Except that it... looked.a little ' squeezed/ I should not .have seen any difference with others m the shop. We sent some to various friends, and they all pronounced it vCry good. I had two or three friends; to pass judgment on the saddle, and We, agreed that the quality of the mutton Was first-rate-— brown, and full of gratf y f but it was just a little hard, owing prp-; bably to our eating it too soon. The weather was hot at the time, and I Was ; afraid of keeping it.' All'yoo'hWe%ow got to; do is to organise' a fleet' of Bhips that will bring , us :7000 carcases regitlarly every fortnight : then we, the consumers, may perhaps be abe to purchase it on reasonable terms, but not • bofore."
