Nevertheless, I have not thought it prudent
to invite the interference of the law when the
results obtained might be disputed by the
Official Referees, to whom the person accused

Upon the whole, I am of opinion that the
articles supplied by retail traders throughout
the City are fairly genuine.
The New River Company's water supply to
the City of London has been from time to time

I have again to acknowledge the assistance
rendered in this part of my duty by Mr.
Howard B. Turner, F.I.C., your Sanitary
Clerk.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
Wm. SEDGWICK SAUNDERS, M.D.
Fellow of the Chemical Society.
Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry of Great
Britain and. Ireland.
Public Analyst for the City of London, &c.
