THE LABORATORY.
Sale of Food and Drugs Act.
The samples that have been analysed under the
Sale of Food and Drugs Act are set out in detail in
Table X, page 44.
In only two cases was it found necessary to institute
prosecutions ; both these cases was for adulterating milk.
David Hughes, of 17, William Street, Lisson Grove,
was summoned for selling milk to which at least 21 per
cent. of water had been added.
A servant of Mr. Hughes admitted adding water to
the milk to make up for some that was spilled, therefore
the magistrate did not consider the employer to blame, and
dismissed the summons.
John Madagin, of 40, Lisson Street, was fined £1 and
costs for selling milk diluted with at least 7 per cent. of
water.

The usual analyses of water are to be found in
Table XII.
Gas.
