about dealing with the question Of food
adulteratiOn in England. A Liverpool
alderman, who keeps a shop for the sale
of provisions, displayed a sign in his
window blazoned with these words:
f'I'ry our weeks butter, eight pence per
pound" A customer, seeing this, went
In and asked for some Of the material in
Dictated. There was no discussion as to
the quality Of the article, which was af-
forwards found to be a good brand Of
butterine. The customer instituted
prosecution, and the alderman was con
Victed and fined one pound. The Court
held that the sign in the window was
a Wiliful misrepresentation, and that to
sell butterine as answering the descrip-
ton set forth in that advertisement was
a violation Of the law. The Liverpool
papers In commenting on the case ez-
press surprise that the fine was light. It
is not against the law there to sell but
terine, provided its true character Is
made known.
