For the Quarter ending 29th Sept., 1880.
To the Vestry of the Parish of Clerkenwell.
Gentlemen,
During the quarter ending on the 29th
September, 1880, I have received from your inspectors,
Messrs. Thain and Cheshire, 29 samples for analysis,
consisting of Beer, Milk, Mustard, Black Pepper,
Coffee and Vinegar. One of the samples of mustard
was adulterated with 10 per cent. of flour; one of the
samples of milk with 28 per cent. of water and another
with 18 per cent. The other samples were not adulterated.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your Obedient Servant,
T. REDWOOD.
17, Bloomsbury Square.
October 13th, 1880.
