Kosher slaughtering was banned yesterday in this city by M. Wieckowski, president of Poznan, under a law still in effect from the days when the province of Posen was a part of Prussia.

The Jewish community is petitioning the Ministry of Cults and Education complaining that the edict serves to deprive the Jews of meat.
