and Tse Tak, the licensees of Pork Stall No. 91 in the Western Market, North Block, for exposing for sale three fore quarters and four hind quarters of pork which had not been slaughtered in the Government slaughter-houses, was dealt with by Mr. W. Schofield.
Tse Chung answered the summons on behalf of himself and his partners, and said he had purchased the pork in Talpo us he was short of ment on. that particular day, February 8.
His Worship remarked that meat killed in Talpo should be sold there and not brought into the city.

Inspector Eccleshall asked that serious view be taken of the "case. The Government only charged 45- cents for every head of pig killed in their slaughter houses. It was very unsafe for any pigs which had not been slaughtered by the Government at Kennedy Town to be sold in the Markets. No bad meat was allowed in the markets. There had recently been a very extensive business in the dead pig trade, and this had to be stopped.
Hils Worship, remarking that it was a very serious offence, imposed a fine of $60 on Tse Chung.
