*Mr. Denman, in giving his decision, said it was probably recognised that there were some things which could not be arrived at accurately by evidence, and therefore it was desirable to have an official standard fixed, so that a Magistrate might say there had been an addition of water when that standard was exceeded. With regard to milk, that had been done, but it had not been done with respect to butter. It seemed to him it had not been done because at present it had not been sufficiently ascertained what was the amount which ought to form the standard. It would not be safe to convict in such circumstances, and the summons would therefore be dismissed.
