bearing it is imported.

The label used by Messrs. Ferodeau and Company,

the firm responsible for the consinment of spirits

seized by the liong Kong Customs authorities, is

clearly calculated to create a false impression of the

origin of the spirits and I aa therefore to suest for

the consideration of Kr. secretary lienderson that the

French Government should be invited to investigate this

practice of messrs. Perodeau and Company and should be

asked to take steps to prevent in future the false

description of spirits of French manufacture as scotch

whisky.

The Board h ve not been supplied with the address of

dessrs. Ferodeau and Company but they observe that the

spirit was accompanied by a certificate of age relating

to brandy, sined by the Mayor of Cognac, and this fact

may enable the French Government to trace the fira.

A copy of this letter is being sent to the

Colonial office.

I have the honour to be,

wir,

Your oveaient Servant,

(Signed) H. FOUNTAIN.
