Refusing to Serve, and Assault: --At Hammersmith, on Saturday, Allen Mannering, of Orofton Terrace, Hammersmith, appeared to answer two summonses, one for refusing to sell a pound of butter to Henry Oatley, an inspector appointed under the Sale of Food Act, and the other for assaulting him in the execution of his duty. Mr. Jones, clerk to the Fulham District Board of Works, handed to the magistrate a certificate of the analyst, stating that the butter contained 80 per cent, of foreign fat other than butter. After hearing the evidence, which showed that the defendant was not the owner of the shop, Mr. Paget dismissed the summons for refusing to sell the butter, as he thought the purchase was complete. He, however, fined the defendant 5 for the assault. Mr. J. H. Cornall, M.R.C.S., has been appointed Public Analyst for the Borough of Warrington. RECENT CHEMICAL PATENTS.
