Two samples of coffee and chicory were purchased for analysis, and
one sold as French coffee in tin was returned by the Public Analyst as
containing 75 per cent. of chicory and only 25 per cent. of coffee, which at
the price paid (1s. per lb.) was obviously an intent to defraud the public,
but owing to the present inadequate state of the law to deal with such a
a case no legal proceedings could be taken against the vendor.
Another sample of coffee and chicory was found to contain 50 per
cent, of each ingredient, and also cost 1s. per lb.
