Essex Chronicle 31 Oct 1930 Richard Mark Ayres, steamship captain, was summoned for bringing to the River Blackwater sheep from France without a license. PC Pink spoke to visiting the ship in the port of Maldon. On board he found two sheep in a pen on the deck. The defendant said he had come from Dunkirk and the sheep were food for the Lascar crew.
The crew of 79 had to kill the sheep under a particular religious ceremony and they would not touch meat otherwise and there would be danger of a mutiny.
