I have further to report that during the year just completed, the
total number of samples analysed has been 288, and of these 59 or
20.5 per cent. were found to be adulterated. This result shows an
increase in adulteration as compared with last year, and is the highest
recorded for many years.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
W. C. YOUNG, F.I.C., &c.
