CROSSLY ADULTERATED
A £SO FINE. AUCKLAND, February 25. "One of the most extraordinary cases we have had," declared Sub-inspector Wohlmann, when Alfred _ Sexton, of Hobsonville, was charged with, having sold adulterated milk in which the deficiency of milk fat and the excess of water ran to 40 per cent, and 50 per cent. The analysis taken suggested that the mixture was in some cases three buckets of water to two of milk, and that was the sort of article the defendant sold to the Takapuna Dairy Company. His Worship quoted from the analyst's report the repeated phrase: '' One of the most grossly adulterated samples of milk I have ever analysed," and stated that if the milk had been sold to the public for use instead of being sold to the factory defendant would have been sent to gaol. As it was, defendant would be fined £SO and costs.
