John Ward, of 48, Upper Rathbone Place, was fined
the same amount for selling milk diluted with 11 per cent.
of water.
Two summonses were taken out against a Buckinghamshire
farmer for sending milk, diluted in each case with a
considerable quantity of water, consigned to a vendor in the
district. The summonses were dismissed because it was
shown that the milk had been consigned to a certain person
and then forwarded on to St. Marylebone. In other words
the milk did not come direct from the farmer.
