"MALT VINEGAR."
FIXE LEGAL POIXT RAISED. (Sy Telejtraob.—Special tir "Star."» CHEISTCHURCH, this day. In the Magistrate's Court yesferday, Mr. E. D. Mosley had before him two iiifonnations against the Dominion Compressed Yeast Company, the manager of which was charged with selling vinegar which it was alleged was falsely described as "malt vinegar." The case hinged largely on the interpretation of the word "cereal." Tapioca was used in the manufacture of tlie vinegar, and the Department claimed tliaC it wus not a cereal, and that the regulations demanded that for malt vinegar a cereal must be used. The foundation of the defence was that in the popular sense, and in some respects the scientific sense, tapioca came under the heading of cereals. There was no suggestion that the company was not producing a good article, but it was averred that competitors were placed at a disadvantage. After lengthy evidence had been heard, in which several scientists and chemists: were called for the defence, the magistrate reserved his decision.
