A sample of milk was purchased by mistake a few yards within
the boundary of the Borough of Hackney. It proved to be
adulterated, but no action could be taken in the matter. The
Medical officer of Health of the Borough was communicated
with by your directions.
While out sampling one Sunday morning, I found a milkman,
whom I had previously cautioned, selling milk without being
registered, and without having his name and address properly
inscribed on his hand can, in contravention of the Act of 1899.
I reported the matter to the Committee and, by their directions,
proceedings were taken against the vendor.
The defendant was fined 7s. and 23s. costs, and at once applied
for registration. He has since changed his address on two
occasions, but has been re-registered at the proper times on each
occasion.
