WHAT WE DRINK.
To the Editor. Sir,—“A Consume)? of Ale and Beer” should have lead the evidence in Fiueh v.
Reeves more before publishing his letter in your paper of yesterday. If so, he would not he lost in such “wonder” $s to what became iof the four hluls. of ale referred to. • I stated in evidence that I had sold all the remaining hhda. to Messrs Marshall and Copeland at 22s 6d each, which was 2s 6d each less than the value of the empty casks. Thus the purchasers evidently required 2s 6 i each hhd. to recoup them for their labor in emptying the beer out, so as to make the casks useful. Your correspondent might have gathered this information from the proceedings in the Resident Magistrate’s Court, without troubling you and the public about the matter I think there is no danger of this “ Consumer of Ale and Beer ” getting poisoned by this “ tainted ” ale. I would advise him to goon taking his “pint” as serenely as be fore; and the next time he rushes into print to study the facts of his case a little more, , Yours, Ac., D. M. Speeding. Dunedin, November 22.
