The Inspector stated that the offence was committed on the 6th December last. Defendant, in reply to the charge, said that she had not been satisfied with the quality of the milk for some time. The Chairman: Have you a warranty from, the farmer? Defendant: No; I could not get milk from anywhere else, and had to take what I could get. I told all the people that intended giving up the round and was selling the milk at a loss. The Chairman, in giving the decision of the Bench, said that the Inspector had proved the charge. It was essential that the young children should get a proper supply of milk, and without water. She would be fined 13. WEIGHTLESS BREAD.

Cross-examined, the inspector admitted that the older the bread was the lighter it became. Mr. Samuel Griffith, for the defendant, said that there was a degree of guilt, but what had been done was through the want of thought and in ignorance. The defendant lacked experience in the bakery line, and she had suffered great loss by the death of her husband and the taking to the Colours of her son, who was now serving in Salonica. During Christmas week she (the defendant) had baked a very large quantity of bread; in fact, too much, with the result that she had had it sent out for sale with the bread of the subsequent week.
