Henry Wright from whom six bar
rels of cider was seized, claimed that
four of the barrels were for vinegar
and the balance for his personal use
or to occasionally when a friend call
ed he gave him a drink. He insisted
that he did not ke«p it for sale, al
though he had sold some for use in
mince pies. He was represented by a
lawyer and it was decided to send a
sample from earh barrel to the State
f hemist for analysis to see if it was
sweet or hard. This will be rather a
difficult thing to do as the cider has
been stored in a local garage for ten
days and when seized might have
, been sweet.
