For the Quarter ending 31st Dec , 1878.
To the Vestry of the Parish of Cterkenwell.
Gentlemen,
During the last quarter I received from your
Inspectors, Messrs. Thain and Cheshire, 44 samples for
analysis, consisting of Milk, Mustard, Pepper, Oatmeal,
Coffee, Bread, Tea, Cocoa, and Violet Powder. Four
samples of Milk, and one of Mustard were found to be
adulterated, but not to any serious extent. No samples
have been recently collected by your Inspectors, of Beer
and Spirits, and it does not appear that much can be done
in that direction in the present state of the law, but a Bill
has been introduced into Parliament, which, if passed,
will facilitate proceedings in such cases.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
T. REDWOOD,
17, Bloomsbury Square.
