Ten thousand earcasCH of New Zealand mutton have this week been landed m England from New Zealand, of which 1,600 of them came to Sheffield yesterday, and were on, view m prooew* .of dressing at the yard of the Yellow Lion Inn (Mr Berry's). Mr "Wood, thfc meat inspector, examined the nheep and pronounced them to be m excellent condition. A number of gentlemen, attracted by the interesting- nature of the experiment visited the Yellow Lion yard and were satisfied that if the quality shown yesterday can be obtained the supply of New Zealand mutton ought to be an importaut trade. The carcases are about 4 stone weight, and the meat can be placed on the English market at 6£d per 1b wholesale. Mr Curtis, the Sheffield agent, has about 12 establishments m Sheffield, Rotherham, and Barnsley; so that the consumers m this district, will have an opportunity of seeing- vhat New Zealand can do for them m the matter of food. The mutton is frozen at the other side, and is conveyed m ice chambers on hoard ships specially contracted for the traffic!
