TINNED MILK WITHOUT
LABEL
An interesting prosecution over the sale of a tin of "Moonraker Machine-Skimmed Milk to In- spector Brewer, of the Sanitary Melbourne this morning. Department, was heard by Mr. C. D.
Lam, of 233 Queen's Road West, The defendant was Chan Sui
and the charge was that he sold condensed skimmed milk without a label with Chinese characters to the effect that "this is skimmed milk; children under one year of age should not be fed on it.”
Inspector Brewer stated that the Ordinance was to prevent'skimmed milk being used for Chinese in- fants who were liable to get diarrhoea and other diseases.
Defendant's plea was that he was only acting as agent and that he had been informed that the rei gulations had been complied with This, however, was not accepted and he was fined $50.
