SALE OF FOOD, &c.. ACTS.
Samples of milk having been taken for the purpose of analysis
and two of the samples having been certified by the Analyst to be
adulterated (but he considered the adulteration not to be of sufficient
extent for the purposes of conviction) it was resolved on the 24th
April, 1890, to request the vendors of the milk to exercise more care
in the future that legal proceedings against them may be avoided.

TRADE REFUSE.
In the action of Mr. Frederick Gordon, of the Hotel Metropole,
against the Vestry, relative to the removal of clinkers, an order was
obtained compelling the Magistrate sitting at Bow Street Police
Court to state a special case for a superior court, the Judges
intimating an opinion that the Vestry's contention was correct. On
the case being heard in the Divisional Court the decision of the
Magistrate was upheld, but the Judges expressed the opinion that
it was a case which might properly be taken to the Court of Appeal.
On the case being heard in the Court of Appeal, before the Master
of the Rolls and Lords Justices Lindley and Lopes, the appeal was
dismissed. On the 20th November, 1890, it was determined to print
the judgment, to forward copies of the same to the local authorities
of the Metropolis, and to request them to contribute towards the
costs of an Appeal to the House of Lords. There being only in two
instances contributions of small sums promised, the Vestry decided
on the 15th January, 1891, to take no further legal proceedings.
