were submitted to me by the Inspectors for Analysis, and that all were
certified by mo as, in my opinion, not adulterated.

Analyst's Report for the Quarter ending December 25th
1873.
21, Caversham Road, London, N.W.,
December 26th, 1873.
To the Vestry of Shoreditch.
Gentlemen,
During the Quarter ending December 25th, 1873,
three samples only, two of milk and one of flour, were submitted to me
for analyst by the Inspectors. All the samples were brought, as I am
informed, by private purchasers.
The flour was found to be not adulterated. Both the samples of
milk were of inferior quality, but of such quality that they might have
been produced by poor and ill-fed cows, and no adulteration could be
detected in the samples.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
THOMAS STEVENSON,
Analyst.
