Oct. 28th, 1891.
To the Yestry or the Parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal Green.
Chairman and Gentlemen,—
During the quarter ending September 29th, 1891, I have
received from your Inspectors 27 samples of Food for Analysis. All
of these were samples of Milk. Of these 5 samples were adulterated
by the addition of from 10 to 35 per cent. of water. In all cases
prosecutions were undertaken against the vendors. Yesterday, two of
these cases should have been decided at the Police Court, but owing
to the number of other cases they were adjourned. I have delayed
my report with the hope of being able to state in it the rosults of
these cases; now, I shall have to leave them for my next report.
All the other cases were satisfactorily disposed of, fines varying
from £1 to £20 being imposed on the vendors. A total of £23 for
fines having so far been ordered to be paid into the Vestry's account
during the quarter.
I remain your obedient servant,
ALF. W. STOKES, F.C.S., F.I.C.,
Public Analyst.
