The case would be dismissed.—Jane Jones, Bardsey Island, Bangor, was also summoned for adultera- ting whiskey.—The Inspector, in the course of his evidence, stated that a pint of whiskey he obtained from the defendant contained 70.92 proof spirits, being 29 degrees under proof, and it contained 4 per cent. of water.—Mr W.
