Subsequently, he took another sample and found that it contained 17 per cent, added water. The result was that she waa charged before Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday with felling milk on two occasions not complying with the standard. Defendant was represented by Mr. W. E. Leicester, who entered a plea of guilty, and stated that his client was a milk, vendor in a very small way, her dally supply being about six gallons. She made only sd. a gallon on the sale. Mr. Hunt: She would make more if she added water. The Magistrate later remarked that defendant had not even got the excuse of carrying the milk in a shower of rain. Mr. Leicester: That is so worn out, I would not dare put it up in any case. A fine of £5 and costs wys Imposed on the first charge, and £2 10s. add costs on the. second.
