MILK VENDORS-A. HARDSHIP?
COMMON PLEA IN COURT.
When city milk vendors are proceeded against in Court for selling milk which is "below tho standard" they sometimes plead in extenuation that they have no reasonable opportunity of knowing that they are selling milk that docs not reach tho requirements of tlie Act. They have, thev state, to trust to the milk that is supplied to them. Mr. P. Jj. O'llejjaii. who defendod a vendor yesterday, put the mso this way: ,r Wc plead puilty; we cannot avoid that. The statute is absolute. It does not take any account of whether there is malicc or not. We cannot disput© the correctness of the analysis, and consequently, we cannot eeoapo tho plea of guilty." __________
