There was nothing in the appearance or smell of the butter to excite suspicion.
In spite of the large consumption of this class of butter in the colony at the time no complaint of illness from any other restaurant or tea shop was received.
It was probable that the contamination was confined to one case of butter containing 50 lbs. and that no blame could be attached either to the importers of the butter or to the management and staff of the bakery.
