DRAMBINE

Prince Charlie's Liqueur'

The origin of "DRAMBUIE" and the basis of its production give it & character distinct from other Liqueure.

Brought to Scotland by a follower of Prince Charlie in 1745, the recipe was given to a MacKinnon of Skye, and the secret has ever since remained in one family. The MacKinnon of that day employed the materials which were available, and in place of Brandy a fine old Whisky was used. This, along with heather honey and herbal ingredients of recognised value as aids to digestion produced, a Liqueur which soon gained the post of honour on the tables of Highland Aristocracy, and is now known world-wide.

Lai Lin, a stonecutter employed at the quarry said that he had never seen a timber shield in use at the quarry during the time he had been working there from November 29- to December 3. Blasting had taken place twice & day every day during that period but no precautions had ever been taken

In addressing the jury the Magis trate said that Li Tang, otherwise. the Foo Lung Conipany could not be considered responsible for the death of the deceased.

With reference to those opium saloons, the municipal police authorities have just issued new rules requiring them to be closed by 11 o'clock overy night. The use of these places as rendezvous for all sorts of evil, which is being facilitated by their being kept open till late hours, is thus expected to be curbed.
