In the police court in the afternoon Uhief King said that he asked Rowe what he was going to do with the beef. What is the matter `I Anything wrong ? said Rowe. The meat is evident- ly not t for food, replied the Chief.. Rows contended that it was\all right, and that he had used some of it himself. Mr. O Neill, a farmer, said Rowe had oered to sell him thebeef at 5c. per lb. He considered the meat unt for food ; it was also very poorly dressed. Mr. John Bingham, butcher, said the animal had evidently been ohokedgto death, and the meat was certainly quite on- t for use The defendant_Rowe said that he had killed the animal about 10 days ago.` On the night previous a cow had booked the two year old steer over the side of thestsll and there he found it hanging to the halter in the morning When released the beast `walked around as well as usual. Rowe made a bangle of his evidence. however, when he said that he nad not intended to kill the animal, but did not want to lose it. T,h-is admission seemed to satisfy the magis-. .ttste.. who ned him $15 -and costs. or 820.50 `altogether. f His Worship ordered Chief King to retain the beef-and dispose of it?i`n apmanner that would prevent any hu- beins amine any .f~it.-..._ T V,_ - ohiwinz animals to dispoaero .ds`to.- when they will nd u. r _ gtjgood romuoapative. rice : if`.- ."-?.`J`i".`~l.1~:n~.P: ." `4"`o"9'.o ff; _ i ; . -Roch Marion, the ontreal Home King. will he at` the Wellin Hotel on Friday, February. 17th. forth urpoao of buying fty or more good noun bones.
