In one case where "mustard" was adulterated with
30% of potato starch, the vendor was fined ten shillings and
costs, and in another case where "coffee" was adulterated
with 25% of chicory, a fine of five shillings and costs
was inflicted. Four persons were "warned" for selling
"coffee" adulterated with chicory to a smaller extent.
In none of the samples was any poisonous ingredient
discovered.
No money or consideration other than the stipend from
the Vestry has been received by me in connection with these
analyses.
I have the honour to remain,
Rev. Sir and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JAMBS EDMUNDS.
