Author's note: At the District Court, Melbourne, the firm of Blogg Brothers was fined [pounds] 10, with [pounds] 5 .5s. costs, for selling salad oil which was not of the nature, quality, and substance demanded by the purchaser. "The evidence for the prosecution," said the Argus, "showed that the oil sold was branded 'Sublime salad oil, Olive brand.' On analysis it was found to be marine animal oil, containing a certain admixture of vegetable oil. It was admitted by one of the defendants that the main constituent of the oil branded as salad oil was whale oil.["]
