JAM MAKERS FINED.
[BY TELEGRAPH. — ASSOCIATION.] Dcneoin, Thursday. At the Police Court to-day, A. and J. McFarlane, Irvine and Stevenson, and the Phcenix Company were charged with selling adulterated jam. It was not contended that anything but pure fruit had been put in the jam. In the case of the McFarlanes, they had found that strawberry jam would not " set" or keep unless the pulp of other fruit was mixed. In the cases of the other defendants other fruits had been mixed with raspberry to the extent of from 14 to 16 per cent. The Court decided that as the jam had been sold as if made from one , fruit, whereas other fruit was introduced, it was an offence under the Act. It should have been labelled to show the fruits it was made of. Each of the firms was fined £3, with costs, or a total of £5 14s s
