A HEAVY FINE
IMPOSED ON A MILK VENDOR.
(BY TELBGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day
Leonard Hadfield, milk vendor, was fined £75 iv the Magistrate's Court for selling milk below standard. Tlie milk was 53.85 per cent, short in cream as calculated from the standard of milk fat. Defendant had been twice previously convicted. Mr. M'Carthy, S.M., said that deliberate adulteration of milk was nothing short of murder. The offence, evidently, had been wilfully committed, and skim milk sold as pure milk. Defendant and his wife denied this, but the Magistrate declined to alter his de^ cision. - '.
