Of the samples of milk, one was, in my opinion, admixed with
.'3G per cent., and the other with 21 per cent., of water. These were bad
cases of adulteration.
The sample of green tea was faced with Prussian Blue and inert
mineral matter. The facing matter was small in quantity.
No adulterant was detected injurious to the health of the
consumer.

I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
THOMAS STEVENSON,
Analyst for the Parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch.
