WATER IN MILK
„ FORMER DAIRYMAN FINED,
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, 4th September.
"People do not want to buy rainwater; they can get that for nothing at home," said Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., in the Police Court, when Frederick G. Clark was charged with selling milk containing 14 per cent, of added water and with selling milk containing loss than 8.5 per cent, of milk solids other than milk fat. The Health Department Inspector said that it was raining on the morning that he examined the milk. The defendant, formerly a dairyman at Avondale, said that he had never been in trouble before. When the milk was examined he was in bed ill, and had left the milking in charge of another man, who had since left the place. His milk had been recommended by a Plunket nurse. Counsel asked the Magistrate to deal with the matter leniently as the- defendant had now given up his farm. A fine of £5, with costs, was imposed.
