So far as a small number of samples are concerned, it
appears to be the same with butter as with milk; out of 54
samples of butter taken and bought as an ordinary purchaser
would buy, two were found to be adulterated;
attempts to get officially from the vendors of these two
samples butter of similar quality failed. The divided
samples were perfectly genuine.
The following vendors were prosecuted:—
Mr. H. S. Fryer, of 139, Seymour Place, was summoned
for selling milk deficient in milk fat to the extent of at
least 67 per cent., and fined £1 with 12s. 6d. costs.
Mr. F. P. Wallace, of 32, Burne Street, was summoned
for selling milk diluted with at least 13 parts per cent. of
water, and fined 19s. and with 12s. 6d costs.
Mr. Wellington Green, of 7, Eamont Street, St. John's
Wood, was summoned for selling milk deficient in milk fat
to the extent of 10 per cent., and fined 10s. with 12s. 6d.
costs.
Mrs. Florence Havard was summoned for selling milk
deficient in milk fat to the extent of 8 per cent., and fined
5s. and 12s. 6d. costs.
