Legal Proceedings.
There were three prosecutions under Section 3 of the Food and
Drugs Act, 1938, for the sale of pork sausages with a low meat content.
In two instances the cases were proved and the defendants were
given an absolute discharge. They were each ordered to pay £3. 3s. Od.
costs.
In the third case, upon application by the defendant, the sausages
were analysed by the Government Analyst, and at the adjourned hearing
the case was proved. The defendant was given an absolute discharge
and ordered to pay £6. 10s. 0d. costs.
