As set out in detail in Table II there have been 145

of this number two samples of milk and one sample of
whisky were certified to be adulterated.
Lionel Court, of 9, Violet Hill, was fined £2 with
12s. 6d. costs for selling milk deficient in milk fat to the
extent of at least 67 per cent.
Elizabeth Green, of 32, Saville Street, W., was fined
10s. and 12s. (3d. costs for selling milk deficient in milk fat
to the extent of at least 6 7 per cent.
With regard to the sample of unduly diluted whisky,
the advice of the Solicitor was not to proceed farther
because the Vendor was found to have a notice in the bar
to the effect that all spirits were diluted.
All the other samples were of fair commercial
quality.
Prosecutions under the Public Health (London) Act.
Every builder before erecting a new building is bound
under penalty to deposit plans showing the drainage and
sanitary appliances. This is a wise and excellent regulation
made alike in the interests of the owners and of the builders,
and it is most important that the bye-law should be strictly
enforced, for it is easier to prevent a person constructing
something irregular when he gives you notice of his intention,
than to alter premises and fittings once they are erected.
It is astonishing that one or two well-known building
firms have from inattention ignored the regulation and laid
themselves open to legal proceedings.
Messrs. J. & A. Bywater were summoned for not
depositing plans with regard to a new building on the site
of No. 21, Nottingham Street, and fined £1 and £1 3s.
