NOT TRUE TO LABEL
WHISKY AND GIN IN WRONG BOTTLES HOTELKEEPER FINED £75 Press Association PALMERSTON IST., Monday. Charged with exposing for sale liquor not true to label, S. W. Evans, an hotelkeeper, was fined £25 on one charge relating to gin, and <£so on a second charge relating to whisky. Counsel for defendant said the gin contained 1 per cent, more alcohol than it should. Other gin was probably mixed accidentally. The whisky was overproof and some employee probably filled the branded bottle with the draught whisky. Mary Stonehouse on a charge of selling gin not true to label was fined £25. Counsel said that some employee had probably taken an unauthorised nip and filled the bottle with soda, accounting for the acidity in the gin.
