----------------CALF SLAUGHTER.
CALF SLAUGHTER. Important Breccn Case At the Brecon Borough Police Court, on Monday, before the Mayor (Mr W. F. Parry deWinton"), Dr. Francis, Mr H. C. Rich, and Mr Wm. Williams, Charles Edward 'Blank, butcher of Castle street, Brecon, was charged with causing a calf to be slaughtered contrary to the Live Stock Sales Order, 1918, and Joseph Price, farmer, of Porthgwyn, Llanddew, was charged with permitting the slaughter. Mr Thompson, of Swansea, prosecuted for the Divisional Food Commissioner, and Mr E. P. Careless, of Llandrindod Wells, defended, and put in a plea of not guilty. In opening the case Mr Thompson quoted from the Live Stock Sales Order to show that a calf should not be slaughtered unless it was branded by an authorised person, and poiited out that Section III, which permitted immedi- ate slaughter in cases of accident or illness, applied to beasts and sheep and did not apply to calves. P.S. David Evans stated that on Friday, June 14th, he saw a calf being taken in a gambo to the slaughterhouse and in the afternoon went there and found that Mr Blank had just slaughtered it. It was not branded for slaughter and he told defendant he had com- mitted an offence. In reply Mr Blank said :— Price, Porthgwyn, came to me this morning and told me he had a calf tlt was not well and asked me to slaughter it. I told him to bring ,is it down and he had better see Price, the auctioneer. Later on I received a message that Price had sent the calf down and wanted me to slaughter it, and I said 'If it is fit for human consumption I wiii buy it r The defendant Price then came into the slaughter- house and witness asked him for an explanation. He answered I knew the calf would not live, so I sent it down to Blank to slaughter it." Cross-examined Everything was done quite I openly and there was no attempt at secrecy or concealment. I Mr W. J. Price, of Brecon, chairman of the Auctioneers' Committee for Breconshire and Radnorshire, and the "authoriiSed person" for trading at Brecon, said he met Mr Blank on the 14th June and defendant told him that Mr Price, Porthgwyn, had a calf which he panted to be slaughtered. Witness said he could not go out to see it that day and suggested that the J defendant Price should call at bis office, Witness was at the office afterwards, but Mr Price did not call. Witness did not brand the calf and gave no sanction for its slaughter. Gross-examined If he had seen the calf and been satisfied that it would not live.. very likely ¡ he would have branded it. He would have done it in the national interest in order not I to waste meat. Re-examined He considered this case came within the instruction as to casualty slaughter, j Mr Roy Parry gave evidence to show that I there was no call at Mr W. J. Price's office regarding the question of slaughtering the calf j within certain hours. For the defence Mr Careless contended that the exclusion of calves from the emergency slaughter section was an omission. If the defendant Price had allowed this calf to die he would have been guilty of wicked waste. Mr Blank gave evidence. He said that when he told 3Tr Price, the auctioneer, the circum- stances, the latter said No doubt it will be all-righr." As soon as- he could witness went to the slaughterhouse to see the calf, and it was in such a state it would soon have died; there- fore, without stopping to change his clothes, he killed it 4o save the meat for human food. He was not aw,'ire that calves were deluded from the emergency section uf the Order. He had not bought the calf when he killed it, and had no interest in it. Mr A. J. Cattell. M.R.C.V.S.. Brecon, stated that he examined the carcase of a heifer calf at the slaughterhouse on the afternoon of June 14th. The stomach was full of hair, which was acting as a mechanical obstruction, and if it had not been slaughtered the animal would soon have died. The meat was perfectly sound and fit for human food. The defendant Price also gave evidence sup- e porting Mr Blank's statement. He said he called at the office of Mr Price, the auctioneer, at about 8 o'clock, but Mr Price was not there. He did everything he could to' comply with the law, and his sole object in sending the calf for slaughter wa's to save meat for human food. After the magistrates had deliberated for a very long time in private, the Mayor said they considered there had been a technical breach of the Order, and they were going to dismiss the case with a very grave caution. The regula- tions were carefully framed—in spite of what Mr Careless said—and were specially framed to protect the calf and if any other case such as this came before them and was proved—even of a technical offence-they would deal very severely with it.

-_.------- --------------------------------INETTING…
NETTING THE USK. Conservators' Interesting Dis- cussion. An extraordinary meeting of the Usk Board of Conservators was held at Abergavenny on Friday, to consider a report of the Executive Committee, who had been asked to report whether it is possible to assist the food supply from the existing stock of salmon or trout in the river, and if so by what means this result can best be obtained. Mr Reg. Herbert, of Clj'tha, presided, and there were also present Col. Sandeihan, Capt. J. D. D. Evans, Mr H. E. Gray, Mr Anthony Miers. Mr J. O. Marsh, Mr I Illtycl Gardner, Mr E. C. Maurjpe, Mr Gower Andrews, Rev. D. Saunders-Jones, and Mr L. Pym. Shortly the recommendations of tho com- mittee were as follows :—As regards trout (1) the netting of the river generally is not ad- visable, but that in special cases the committee be empowered to authorise netting by fishery owners (who are occupiers) or lessees (2) that fishery owners and lessees be asked to encourage rod and line fishing (3) that the fishing season be extended to Oct. 2nd and (4) that the time of evening'fishing should be extended by one hour. As regards salmon, that netting should be permitted in tlle month of September, if the of be extended TO that month. ¡1", regards salmon, trout, and coarse fish. where the fish are taken for the purpose of assisting the food supply, no net licence duty be charged. The Chairman said the principal thing they had to decide was the question of netting for trout. This was the cause of the trouble, which arose at Brecon, where people wanted to net trout, as they considered the river was swarming with fish. Did they think the pro- posals of the Executive Committee would meet the' case ? He did not know whether there was any single proprietor who would apply for permission to net the river. Col. Sandeman There may be some, and if so all well and good, If they have an abundance of trout it will be a good thing to take some out. Capt. Evans says he has too many. Capt. Evans said he had modified his views on account of the considerable amount of poaching. Mr llltyd Gardner That is due to the. feeling of the public with regard to the food supply. I am sure the public are against us. Capt. Evans I don't think so. In the Brecon district the poaching which is being done is done entirely by the old hands. There is no poaching done by people who have a bad feeling against the Board. Mr Gardner What I mean is that people who see the poaching do not give us all the help they could. Capt. Evans They never did in our district. Mr Gray said the cause of the increased poaching was that there was a great shortage of water bailiffs. Mr Marsh I am told that all the trout we see on the slabs at Cardiff are poached. The Chairman You advocate netting to pre- vent poaching ? Mr Marsh I don't advocate that particularly, but I think we ought to do anyfhing we can to bring food into the market. Mr Gray The committee propose to meet I the difficulty as far as regards the food supply I Yi without doing damage to the river. They sug- gest that fishery owners should be asked to encourage rod and line fishing. I am giving far more days on my water this year, and I suppose others are doing the same. The result is that the fish which are caught by these rods do help the food supply in a legitimate and a way whieb will not damage the river. I am perfectly certain that twice as many fish are caught by other persons on my water as in other years. Capt. Evans said that what stirred him up to bring this matter forward—what stuck in his gizzard "—was that there were people who were not fishing their water anything like they ought to do. He was against netting if it could be avoided, but he suggested it for that reason, He suggested that they should ask for a return from owners as to the amount of fish caught in their waters to date, what was anticipated to be caught by thtf end of the season, and how many rods and how many days fish nig were allowed. ¡ Then they would see whether the water was properly fished or not. I Mr Miers You can ask for it, but it is not obligatory. Capt. Evans You can make it compulsory. Farmers have to make a return of everything nowadays. Mr E. C. Maurice said he gathered that Capt. Evans's intention was to add to the food supply. I In the first place he did not think anybody could say there was a serious shortage/of food at the present time. In the second place he would like to ask what they were soinir to t-,Pt ? Supposing Liley netted 30 unie.a V1 mo in ex, and took out, as Capt. Evans proposed, i> cwt. j to every two miles. That would give 75 cwt ( cross weight of fish. owhieh nearly half would i be iofftl. They would not have more than < 37 o cwt. of actual food, and that of a most I perishable nature. He did not know wligt it would cost to get it. but when they had got it I he did not believe it would save a single pound I < meat, but it would be simply eaten hit ;i Idiiion to the present menu. On the oilier < hand they would take out 16.000 or 170001 more fish from the river and would very seriously damage the fishing. Capt. Evaus said ) the Usk was one of the most prplific rivers in the United Kingdom, and he gave as one reason ) f;e enormous quantity of food which was avail- ) able for the fish. He went on to say that if ail these fish were taken out it would be a. great a 1 vantage to the river, as it would allow the food to increase. That seemed to him to be .iseless. He did not think thtit the Usk wns particularly prolific river. People with whom J he had talked oil the matter did not seem to i think that the river was overstocked. Capt,. j i'ivans seemed to make a dead s«f. i he r»nck- } Land water, for what reason he did not know, j He did not know that he had nnv rowiit j acquaintance with that water. There were not I' nearly so many fish there as there used to be. The chief point was that when they had" carried I I -0_ out the scheme they would have nothing to show for it. Mr llltyd Gardner moved as an addition to clause 2 That all occupiers of fishing be warned that unless this matter be reasonably dealt with by them more drastic action may have to be taken by the Conservators. Mr J. O. Marsh seconded, and said he went as far as Capt. Evans, that the occupiers should be asked to give a return of the facilities allowed and the amount of fish caught. Capt. Evans said he was not down on the Buckland water, but he quoted it because he had the exact figure (one rod to half-a-mile). The Buckland water was much superior to his —the assessment alone showed it—but on his water he had considerably over one rod to every half-mile, and he could go out and catch a good basket. He considered that the Buckland water was inadequately fished,.for such water in these times. Mr Marsh If other fishery owners would take a leaf out of Capt. Evans's book there would not be any trouble. Capt. Evans My fishing is not a penny the worse, and it would not do any harm to some other fishery owners to know that. Mr Illtyd Gardner's amendment was carried and added to clause 2, and the recommendations were then adopted. Capt. Evans proposed that a voluntary return such as he had suggested be asked for from .,9 occupiers of fisheries. The Rev. D. Saunders-Jones seconded and it was carried. The Clerk said the sanction of the Board of Agriculture would have to be obtained to these proposals, and when that was obtained he would send out a circular letter.
