Mr. Polly Hooper, ad&esigng the Bench, said that
various summoner bed bra 'err under the food
and Drugs Act, 1873, agreed DUDDIWOUI defendants,
for having sold milk adulterated more or Wee with
water. life wished to rum the Beech in the

no
veteran had been taken to any perm whatever,
but the samples had been taken ludieorindirtsly from
milk dealers in the rms. There had been If samples
taken from various pawns, which were sent to the
r 134 analpt for the borough, Dr. Oomyr
of Sturmlnstitr Newton. Of thews arapies
eight were returned es milk of different qualities,
two very good, three good, two poor, and one being
ver_y poor, but all milk.
The Mayor thought that the names of rose persons
whose milk was returned as "very good* should be
made known, said so have the honour of it.
Mr. Hooper replied that the name* were not known
to him, but mayor wanting a certificate as to the
quality of the milk, could have one on payment of
bk. Mr. Hooper them spoke upon the car at present
before them, and called
P.S. Harvey who stated that. OD the 11111th of Feb. he
was instructed by Sept. Vickery to got' Mr. Sutton,
and get • sample of milk. He bought the milk In
Victoria-4reet. Be saw Mr. Sutt'in hawking the
milk at the time. He told him it err to be analysed,
and that he could take a sample of it. He bought a
half a pint Of milk, put it into a bottle, corked it and
sealed it down, put a label on it with M. Sutton's
name, and delivered it to Supt. Vickery.
Ores-examined by Mr. Street: He bought the
milk about four in the efts/room.
Mr. Street said that it had been laid dows by
Baron Kelly, in the case of Barnes v. Chinn, that It
was a condition precedent to a convicting that the
person taking the sample of milk should tell him that
It was to be mayord by the public analyst. In the
oar before them he twintioned that this had not been
done, and therefore Mr. Hooper's ore must fall to the
ground.
Mr. Hooper said he wee not aware this point of law
was to be raised upon these two words, and he did not
know whether the witness had been salted if be had
made nee of these words or not. He urged that, as
the police °Slow warn the representative of a public
authority, and as he had said it was for analysis,
defendant must have known it could only be for the
public analyst, and therefore the omission of these
particular words were not fatal, in consumers of the
officer not having used them.
Mr. Street pointed out that in the very saes he had
quoted it was said the milk was for analysis, and not
for the public analyst.
The Mayor sal I that the difficulty in Kr. 1100Pic's
car was that he cmld not ask the question, his cane
having doer, therefore Mr. Streets argument held
good. He did not know if the same objection would
he!,l Rutile the other.cres.

Mr. Pally Hooper said he could not carry the came
any farther, for it seemed the constable had done
everything, except to say the mllk was for public
analysis.
The Mayor said that the objection rai.ed by Mr.
Street was good in law, and therefore all the eight
cases must fall to the ground. The result of the
analysis was a very bad one indeed, and be hoped
every one would take warning. Out of the 18 samples
submitted, only eight bad passed the standard, and in
sow of thole .614 had not, the milk was found to be
adulterated with as much as 10 per cent, 18 per cent.,
and 16 per cent. of added water, therefore the cases
ware bad ones. He hoped those persona who dealt in
milk would, for their own sakes, supply abetter
article, for analyses would from time to time be made
of ite quality. The Mayor called attention to the
samples in which milk was found to be very good.
Samples from these parties had been analysed from
time to time, and they bad always turned out good;
these parties wore Ur. Hayward, Radipole, sad Mr.
H. Stoat, Wyka.
