DISBASED COW,
Kwok Hing Kse, master of a Cattle lan in Hollywood Road, was summoned by Inspector Urley for having sent a bullock to the Slaughter House unit for human food. This case was also brought forward through the instrumentality of Mr G. Sharp. The case was to have some on to-day in the usual course, but the Hon, U. May having ex- pressed a wish to try it and as this was not his day to sit, the case was postponed. Mir Bussell incidentally asked where the animal Was, when Mr Sharp replied that it was in the rain now Inspector Orley said it was in the rain now, because it had to be brought up to-day as evidence, but it was in shelter all last night, fr Sharp re marked that the animal had a treat last night which it had probably never enjoyed before. Adjourned accordingly.
CORRESPONDENCE
THE MEAT QUESTION, [Wepablish the following correspondence for general information :-}
Bank Buildings, Hongkong,
3rd April, 1876.
Colonel A. Bassano, Q. B.,
Secretary to General Colborne, C.E, SI-enclose report of a case heard at the Magistracy on the 25th ultimo, wherein * Chinese was fined $200, for presenting for slaughter a diseased bullock; also some correspondence which has passed upon the matter. I shall be very much obliged by your reading this and bringing the same to the notice of General Colborne, who will, I an aure, feel concerned in any matter con- neated with the quality of the daily rations for the troops under his command.
From a careful observation extending over many years past in this Colony, I am convinced that the checks provided at the Blaughter House, aud afterwards in the examination of the meat, are insufficient to secure the best provision obtainable.
A large number of most inferior cattle are slaughtered, many of them in a state which randers them unfit for human food, and as the Natives may be said not to eat beef, the inference is that the chlef portion is consumed by the troops,
Could meat of a good quality not be obtained the case would be different, but it in not so, as the chief m gistrate observed with truth "there is very good beef in the market."

I may have said that I expected the cost of them would be deducted from the $2,000. With regard to a signature affixed to a letter which was produced at the former trial, I do not remember saying that Spratt & Co. were my agents. I remember Mr Litchfield then produced a letter from signing and on account of Spratt & Co." Captain Grahain to plaintiffs, dated June 5 do not remember saying that when 22nd, 1874, again requesting an account proposed to spratt & Co, to go partners current; and another, in answer to a notice they used to go partners in a sunken
