Analyst's Report for the Quarter ending* June 24th, 1874.
21, Cavorsham Road, N.W.,
June Mth, 1874.
To the Vestry of Shoreditch.
Gentlemen,
During the Quartor onding Juno 24th, 1874, the
Inspector submitted 10 samples to mo for analysis. All were duly
analysed by mo.
Five of the articles were coffee. Of those three wero genuine, and
two containod chicory. The amount of chicory in the samples was vory
large, viz., 70 and 75 por cent, respectively.
Eleven of the samples wero of tea. None of these were, in my
opinion, adulterated. Tho teas wero mostly blaok, with a minute
quantity of green in a fow of the samples. Tho greon tea in the
samplos was faced with a small portion of inert mineral mutter, but not
so as to bo injurious to the health of thoso drinking an infusion of
the tea.
I have tho honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obodiont sorvnnt,
THOMAS STEVENSON,
Analyst.
