EEPOETS OF THE ANALYST.
Made pursuant to Act of Parliament.
Beport of the Analyst for the Quarter ending August
2nd, 1873 (35 8f 36 Vict. ch. 74).
21, Oaversham Road, N.W.,
August Ilk, 1873.
To the Vestry of Shoreditch.
Gentlemen,
During the Quarter ending August 2nd, 1873, the
following articles were submitted to me by the Inspectors for Analysts :
Flour ... ... ... ... 5 samples
Bread ... ... ... ... 2 „
Tea ... ... ... 1 sample
Coffee ... ... ... ... 1 „
Milk ... ... ... ... 2 samples
Porter ... ... ... ... 1 sample
In all, 12 samples.
Of these, one only, a sample of flour, was in my opinion adulterated;
and this with alum. The adulterated flour did not contain alum in large
amount, though the presence of the adulterant was sufficiently great to
preclude the possibility of its haying been accidentally admixed.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
THOMAS STEVENSON,
Analyst.
VESTRY OF SAINT LEONARD, SHOREDITCH.
