l0th May	Bow Street (Mr. Marsham)	C. A. and L. Gates, trading as West Surrey Central Dairy Co.	Giving false warranty in respect of dried milk	Summons dismissed on defendants paying costs £2 2s*
	*Defendants stated that they took every care to keep the various grades of dried milk separate; that the milk was delivered to them in barrels, marked in stencil "Full cream," "Half cream," or "Separated," as the case might be, and that it was transferred from such barrels into different coloured cardboard boxes (pink boxes being reserved for full cream milk), in which boxes the milk was sent for sale to their customers; t hat, in the present case, a mistake must have been made in putting some of the half cream milk into the pink boxes, but that, in future, they were going to have the various grades of milk kept in different locked bins so that a mistake could not arise again. They further stated that they had given instructions to their packers that care was to be taken that the milk was put into the proper boxes, and that this was the only complaint or proceedings instituted during the nine months they had been trading. The Magistrate, in view of these facts, thought the defendants had reasonable grounds to believe that the statements contained in the warranty were true.
