The gentleman then went to the Leadenhall market and procured what he wanted, at the same time informing the salesmau there of what his West end butcher had told him. The Leadenhali man thereupon produced his sales- book, and pointing to an entry remarked, "You see by this, sir, I am supplying your West End butcher with New Zealand mutton, and he gets so many (mentioning the number) sheep from me every morning." Until shippers establish agencies of their own at Home, they must expeot to see New Zealand mutton sold as best Scotch, and the salesmen securing the lion's share of the profits on it.
