One dealer pleaded guilty and was fined fifty dollars which #he paid. A test ca'c was then put on trial before a jury. The offence of adulteration is a misdemeanor. The counsel for the^board of health in opening, dtclared that out of one hundred an 1 twenty millions of quarts of .milk, so! 1 as such in New York and Brooklyn, at lea-t forty millions have heretofore been water, and that therefore four million dollars have .been annaily paid ibrcwater alone. The case is still on. ^ "It is staled in legal circles that the effect of the late de ' u.o T the supreme court in the sou; he u nsuvance cases reaches far wider than was at first supposed. It is said that the principle laid.down by the court is such that all parties who have Uken out a policy of life invurance i i tad then failed through ooe cause or au- j Other to coutiuue the payment Gf preii i" uma u*o weaver the equitable value of the amount# <*> paid by them. rJ be c iu,p?o:w of oour*e will uot admit (hut such a broad latitude of construction shall be givea to the opioioQ of the court, but the probability is that as t his view is taken i)y so many ?>t (he legal piofe&ion cons' siderabie additional litigation will grow ' out of the matter. - ? + 1 The financial result of the Centennial Jbxhihitiop has beeu revealed by proceedings iu co^t.
