A prosecution for selling meat from a motorvan was made against a Pontypridd butcher at Neath Police Court, the summons being taken out under the Neath Market Act, 1835, which makes it an offence to sell meat other than from a stall or a shop.
The evidence was that a furniture van was fitted out as a butcher's shop and the prosecution said that no exception was taken to the van or its cleanliness, or to the meat.
Defendant's plea was that the van was a shop under the meaning of this old Act, being a place specially designed for meat selling. He was ordered to pay costs.
