Impositions of some of the Market People have arisen to an enormous Degree, not to mention several Instances relating to bad Provisions for Man and Beast; we shall give only one at this Time:
A few Days ago, a Loin of Veal was bought, and drest by a Family in this Town, which being brought to Table, a coarse Rag was discovered under the Kidney, and taken from thence proved to be the Waistband of an old dirty Pair of tow Trowsers, with a couple of metal Buttons thereon, the whole weighing near half a lb. What a Disappointment this to those who with good Appetites expected to feed deliciously!
