DIBIT DAIRIES.
. . AUCKLAND, August 3. Mr Dyer, S.M., gave judgment to-day in the prosecution of Joseph Ambury, dairyman, charged- with failing to cleanse his xnilkcaus within the time required by the regulations of the Dairy Industry Act. The magistrate said that the question turned on regulation 10, which provided that all cans in or about any dairy shall be thoroughly cleansed within four hours. The regulation did not state upon whom the obligation fell. He was not prepared to hold that the defendant was liable. His employees brought in milk, and took the cans back to the farmers in an unwashed condition. No doubt the farmers had cleaned their cans, but more than four hours had elapsed. Th« Crown Prosecutor said that the matter wae so important that the regulation mu6t be amended or tested in a higher court. He gave notice of appeal.
