Mystery of Shipment From Antipodes.

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
