A report has been received by the Prime Minister from the Agentgeneral of New South Wales stating that he had made inquiries respecting empty btitter-boxes, and obtained the information that they were being sought in England for improper purposes. He adds:—"From the particulars which I have so far gleaned, Malta appears to be the principal offender, and in view of the reputation which that island appears to enjoy in the trading world I am not surprised that this should be so. Large quantities of a vegetable production are manufactured on the Mediterranean seaboard, and I learn that much of this is put in butterboxes, as also is margarine, and sold as butter. I have asked that an inquiry may be made of the British Consul in the Mediterranean, in order to ascertain the extent of this t abuse, and I hope to have definite information to lay before you in the I course of a few weeks."
