UNPRINCIPLED DEALERS ABE REFILLING GAELIC WHISKY BOTTLES WITH SPURIOUS IMITATIONS. THE STIRLING BONDING CO. offer <£lo reward to any person giving such information as will lead to a conviction. Extract from the Riverine Herald. N.S. W,, ]Qth October, 1894. ECHUCA POLICE COURT, Tuesday, October 9th, 1894. (Before Messrs Dwyer, P.M - , and P. Nolan, J.P.) Michael Roache proceeded against - for FALSELY APPLYING THE TRADE MARK of the STIRLING BONDING CO., LD. Mr Campbell appeared for the defence and pleaded not guilty, and asked that the defendant be dealt with summarily. Michael Roach deponed that he was an inspector of licensed houses, and produced his authority to prosecute. Oo the 2lth August witness called at the — hotel. Took up a bottle of GAELIC WHISKY. Tested it and found it to contain common whisky diluted with water. It was 30 degrees under proof. Defendant eaid ho sold it as he bought it. The whisky was exposed for sale on the shelves with other liquor. To Mr Campbell : Examined all the liquors on the premises and found them correct with the one exception. There had been a fair run on the Gaelic whisky nt one time. Knew I hat in order to meet the demand for a certain liquor it often deteriorated. John Peter Smith, an expert in liquors, deponed that he examined the bm tie produced and found it to be 30 8 under p'oof. IT WAS NOT GAELIC WHISKY BUT A COMMON ARTICLE diluted with -rater. Genuine Gaelic whisky is about 17 degrees under proof, AND IS ABOUT THE BEST WHISKY IMPORTED. THE WHISKY TAKEN FROM DEFENDANT WAS NOT WORTH MORE THAN HALF THAT OF THE GENUINE. L L , , , The licensee of the hotel deponed that the instructions he had given in his hotel were that no water was to be pat in any liquor, and the bulk whisky was to be put In a decanter. If he had had any suspicion that the liquor was inferior he could have rem< ved the bottle, as he knew the excise officer was in the town. He had not put atiy water in the whisky in question. Wife of last witness deponed that she frequently attended to the bar. The bottle of whisky in question was open about eight or ten days. Had never put any water into the bottle. Had put draught whisky into a decanter. A daughter of the defendant gave similar evidence. Defendant (re-called) said he purchased the bottle bearing a similar brand at the —■■■■■ hotel. ’ Mr Campbell here asked for the expert to test the liquor seized and the bottle bought, and Mr Smith .replied that there was no comparison. A fine of £1 was indicted with £6 6a costs, the bench remarking that the uno w all heoause the expo uses was so large,
