Dismissed.
--The charge against Theodore Frick, butcher in the Second Market, of selling filthy and unsound meat, was dismissed. Frick's agent exhibited in the Court room a large piece of the lining to the upper jaw of a beef, on which were innumerable little fibres resembling those which were produced in Court the day before as cats' and puppies' claws. In dismissing this case, however, the Mayor said to Frick, that while he was perfectly satisfied that the charge against him of using such meat as was alleged in the manufacture of sausage was not true in this case, yet the very appearance and smell of it was enough to convince him that such stuff was not fit food for any one to cat, and he would not put up with it. Although, he said, we were in a bad strait for proper food at this time, yet we were not quite so near starvation as to be compelled to eat every kind of filthy trash, and he would give notice that heavy fines should be imposed upon all offenders brought before him in future.
