423 CARCASES STAINED.
Bondon, July 18.
Arsenic has been found
in 1
large quantity in New Zealand meat recently landed at Avonmouth Docks..
The meat was being unloaded when it was discovered that the carcases of 423 sheep, and lambs| were stained.
The
carcases were held for examination, and the Bristol City analyst now reports that they were contaminated with arsenic..
He believes that the arsenic drip- ped on the meat from hides stored on a deck above: The hides had been sprinkled with arsenic, pre- sumably to preserve them.
Part of the cargo was consign- ed to Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow, and the Medical Officer of Health has warned the authori ties at these porta, and also writ
