On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Lord E. CECIL called attention to the state of the law
as regarded the use of false weights and measures and the
adulteration of food, and concluded by moving the follow-
ing resolution—that in the opinion of the house it
was expedient that her Majesty's Government should give
their earliest attention to the wide spread and most repre-
hensible practice of using false weights, and of adultering
food, drink, and drugs, with a view of amending the law
as regarded the penalties now inflicted for these offence;
and of providing more efficient means for the discovery
and prevention of fraud.

3,6. URQUHART said the chief pause that led to adul-
teration was the dearness of food generally ; and the
groat object of all adulteration was the desire to
sell that which ap,,eared as good au articlo at a
less price. lie thought the best thing th 3 hou e
could do was to reduce if they could not altogether
give up, the duty laid upo❑ the importation of articles of
food. He believed all police regulations and inspections
would fail, and therefore the best tiring to
do was !o remove all temptation to adulteration by cheap-
eLi❑g the cost of the genuine article. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. I'OUCIIIN said it was inu,th to be thankful for that
in all the articles of food an,lysed very few were
found to contain . matter antagonistic to human
life. Those articles which contained the most
dangerous adulterations wore pickles, sweetmeats, and
Cayenne pepper. (Laughter.) The others being so
adulterated as to make it more an attempt ou the pockets
than the bodily health of the public at large.
