Gentlemen,
During the Quarter ending on the 31st of March
last, I received from your Inspectors, Messrs. Thain and
Cheshire, 37 samples for analysis, consisting of Milk, Beer,
Mustard, Coffee, Pepper, Tea, Cocoa, Oatmeal, Vinegar, and
Chocolate Cream. Of these, one sample of Butter and two
samples of Mustard were found to be adulterated.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
T. REDWOOD.
