FINED FOR SELLING BAD WHISKEY
British Courts Punish n Catering House
for Mixing Liquors.

In recent case at the kensington
petty sessions the well-known refresh
ment contractors Spiers & Pond. cater
erS to the Victorian exhibition, We're
summoned at the instigation of the
kensington veStry for selling a sample
Of brandy and two samples of whiskey
which We're not of the nature, sub
stance and quality of the article de-
manded. The defense set up was the
extraordinary one that in one case a
barmaid had emptied into the brandy
and whiskey decanters the remaining
portions of glass of whiskey and
water left on the counter by custom
ers. In the case of the other sample
the barmaid had in consequence of a
complaint which had been made to her
that the, stock of the bar under her
charge was unsatisfactory, put water
into the siphon which supplied the tap
from which the sample of whiskey was
purchased The bench inflicted a pen
atty of $45. Apart from the fact that
the spirits We're adulterated, the prac-
tice of emptying the leavings of Gus
toners glasses into the vessels holding
the spirits for public supply is a dis
gusting and filthy and dangerous one,
and the vestry of Kensington deserve
the unqualified thanks of the public for
the action which they took.

From the London Mail
Public meetings have been held in al
most all the West India islands for the
purpose of petitioning the secretary OF
state for the colonies i'm favor Of the
imposition of countervailing duties. The
question of annexation to the United
States has again come prominently be-
fore the public, and many Weil-knoWn
oclonists, who have hitherto laughed to
scofn the idea of a political union with
the northern republic are now publicly
declaring that if the petty tinkering of
the report is all that England can do for
her colonies the sooner some arrange
ment is come TO with the natural AMI
ereial foster mother of the Nest
Indies the better for the latter. In
Jamaica the feeling has gone so far that
a public meeting has been called by an
influential planter for the purpose of
discussing the matter. In all the islands
the press casts discredit on the propo-
sal. but there is not the slightest doubt
that public feeling i'm the West III lis
is moving strongly in that direction.
