Of these five samples were adulterated, viz: three milks
and two coffees.
Of the Milks.—One contained 12 per cent. added water,
one 6 per cent. and was also deficient in butter-fat, and one
contained 5 per cent. of water beyond the average. This was
possibly a very poor genuine milk.
Of the Coffers. One contained 45 per cent. chicory, and
one 15 per cent. chicory. The rest of the samples were all
genuine. The three samples of whiskey were all above the
minimum strength allowed by the Act (25 degrees under
proof) being, respectively, 24 degrees, 21¼ and 20¼ degrees
under proof.

Your obedient servant,
R. BODMER.
