BUTTER SELLERS FINED
OFFENCE BY BLENDING FIRM ■■ ■■ .’.fl— PROSECUTION IN MIDDLESEX. AUSTRALIAN-SIBERIAN MIXTURE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Feb. 17. “This is one of the most deliberate and worst cases ever to come before this Court,” is how the magistrate described seven summonses in the Ealing Court against Green Farm Dairies, North Holt, Middlesex.
The charges included selling blended foreign butter without the mark of origin. The prosecution said that Siberian and Australian butters were blended and sold in wrappers inscribed, “Choicest creamery, product of the finest pastures in the world, absolutely pure.” The defence contended that the public was indifferent whether the butter was Australian or Russian, so long as it received its money’s worth. Fines totalling £4O were imposed.
