For the Quarter ending 31st March, 1879.
To the Vestry of the Parish of Cterkenwell.
Gentlemen,
During the last quarter I received from your
Inspectors, Messrs. Thain and Cheshire, 41 samples for
analysis, consisting of Beer, Mustard, Pepper, Flour,
Bread, Coffee, Milk, and Condensed Milk. Of these, 7
samples were found to be more or less adulterated, namely
2 samples of Mustard, and 5 samples of Milk. Three of
the samples of Milk were adulterated to the extent
respectively of 28 per cent., 20 per cent., and 19 per cent,
of added water, but in two other cases the evidence of
adulteration was so slight that I could not recommend
proceedings to be taken in those cases.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
