There he found cut up and exposed for sale a carcase of veal on' which could not be found or was not visible the brand put on all carcases passed as fit for human consumption by the inspector at the municipal abattoirs. The veal was seized by Air F. Mackenzie, Inspector of Stock at Christchurch,; and on examination it is alleged to have been found to be tubercular. Veal was also seen and examined by Mr H. S. S. Kyle, manager of the municipal .abattoirs. It was destroyed on Saturday morning. The matter is at present in the hands of the Department of Agriculture, and it is understood that a prosecution will be instituted.
