This Food Control Manual is a much enlarged Edition of the volume of Food Controller's Orders published last January, and embraces several new features which, it is believed, will increase, the utility of the work. The previous, the January Edition, was restricted to Orders as to the maintenance of food supply of particular articles, and did not contain the text, but merely an editorial epitome, of the Controller's and other Orders relating to the Constitution, and Enforcement and Prosecution powers of, Food Control Com- mittees. The present Manual contains all the Orders of the Food Con- troller and those of other Departments ancillary thereto now (April 30, 19.18) in force. It further contains the Powers of the Controller, viz., the Act of 1916, which established the Ministry of Food, and the Defence of the Realm Regulations conferring powers on the Minister. (50223.) Wt. 98581009. . 62f,0. 6/18. D & S. (J. 2. 2 419319 iv Arrangement of Manual. It therefore embraces all that formed the first three Parts of the Food (Supply and Production) Manual, i.e., all thereof that pertained exclusively to the Ministry of Food, but with the numerous additions and variations to which the past 6 months have given birth. An additional new feature is the Chronological Table of all the Controller's Orders, which shows which of them are revoked or spent, and which amended. It accordingly supersedes the Food (Supply and Production) Manual so far as Food Control, i.e., the Powers and Orders of the Food Controller, is concerned, but does not cover or supersede the Food Production Legislation, which forms so large a portion of that Manual. Nor does this Food Control Manual reproduce the Defence of the Realm Regulations which govern the Trial and Prosecution of Contraventions of Orders, which are at pp. 409-436 of the said " Supply and Production " Manual given in a form in which those which relate to Summary Prosecutions are severed from the others and the whole collated in a form designed to facilitate reference. But an outline of the more salient features of the Summary Prosecution provisions will be found in Section VII. of this Introduction. Two further new features of the present Manual call for mention. The Chronological Table (pp. 17-32) specifies all the Orders, 361 in number, which have (April 30, 1918) been made by the Food Controller since the establishment of the Ministry, and shows which of them have been revoked or amended, and by what subsequent Orders, and which Orders have now expired, and when they expired. The subsequent sections of this Introduction attempt to give an Outline of the whole of the Food Control Legislation and to indicate its more -salient characteristics, and thereby to assist reference to the details of a body of law to which each month brings extensive variations and additions. Since January 31st last, the date covered by the last published volume of the Controller's Orders, some 130 Orders have been made by him; a year ago the whole of the Orders in force occupied less than 70 pages ; those now in force occupy over 500. New Editions of this Manual will be published every 3 months. 2. ARRANGEMENT or MANUAL. The Manual is divided into 3 Parts. Of these Part I. com- prises the Constitution and Powers of the Ministry of Food, viz., so much of the 1916 Act as- relates to that Ministry, and those of the Defence of the Realm Regulations which confer powers on the Food Controller. The other two Parts comprise the whole of the Orders, whether of the Food Controller or of other Departments relating to Food Control and now (April 30, 1918) in Force; the Orders as to Maintenance of Food Supply forming Part II. and those as to Constitution of the Ministry of Food. v the Constitution, &r., of .Food Control Committees and Enforce- ment of Orders and Prosecutions forming Part III. At the commencement of Part II. will be found the Table (referred to in sub-section 1 above) specifying in strict chrono- logical sequence all the Food Controller's Orders, i.e., not only those in force, but those revoked or spent ; therefrom can be seen at a glance which Orders are not reprinted in this Manual, and why. That Table is followed by a Classified List of all the ''maintenance of food supply " Orders now (April 30, 1918) in force; the system of grouping applied to those " Part II ." Orders, and that under which the Part III. Orders have been arranged is described in Section TV. 2 below. II. Constitution of the Ministry of Food. 1. INITIATION OF FOOD CONTROL LEGISLATION. The War Food Supply Legislation was initiated on November 16th, 1916, by the conferment on the Board of Trade of certain order-making powers by Defence of the Realm Regulations. (See Regs. 2r to 2j as printed pp. 20-23 of the November, 1916, Edition of the " Defence of the Realm Manual.") That system was of short duration. Simultaneously with its inception the intention to appoint a Food Controller was announced in the course of the Debate as to State Regulation of Food Prices (8T H.C., Deb. 5s. 82T-939), and the New Ministries and Secretaries Bill providing for such an appointment was introduced on December 15th, and received the Royal Assent, December 22nd, 1916. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MINISTRY. The Act (6 & 7 Geo. 5, c. 68), which so far as it relates to the Ministry of Food is printed pp. 1-4 of this Manual, established the Ministry of Food and the Office of Food Controller whose powers and duties are stated in outline below. Under section 13 of the Act (p. 4) the Ministry will cease to exist at (or, if an Order in Council so provides, before) a date 12 months after the War. Orders of the Controller which are under seal authenticated by certain signatures, or signed by certain persons, are receivable in evidence (s. 11 of Act, p. 3) : and primd facie evidence of such Orders may also be given by the production of copies thereof under the provisions of the Documentary Evidence Acts which as amended and so applying are printed in Part X. (pp. 437-9) of the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual. " The text of the Controller's Orders as printed in this Manual are copies coming within the last-named provisions, and are evidence accordingly. The Act provides (s. 12, p. 4) for the Food Controller sitting in Parliament and for a Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry. The Food Controller's is one of those Offices of Profit immediate succession from one to the other of which does not vacate a seat in the House of Commons (s. 12 (2) ) ; the List of such Offices has been so repeatedly amended since it was first placed on the vi Powers of the Food Controller. Statute Book in 186T that it was thought convenient to print it in its present form in Appendix VII. (p. 510) to the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual." III. Powers of the Food Controller. 1. SOURCE OF CONTROLLER'S POWERS. The powers and duties of the Controller aie such as are trans- ferred to him from other Departments by Order in Council or as to which he is thereby empowered to exercise concurrently, and those conferred on him by Defence of the Realm Regulations (s. 4 of the New Ministries, &c., Act, p. 1). Apart from the Regulations only twio Orders in Council have been issued under the section. Of these the " Concurrent Powers " Order relates to contracts and is referred to below, and the "Transfer of Powers" Order transfers to the Controller certain powers of the Board of Trade as to brewing certificates for military canteens. The Output of Beer Restriction Acts as thus and otherwise amended are printed in consolidated form as Appendix V. (p. 470) to the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual." 2. ENABLING REGULATIONS. The Regulations conferring powers on the Controller fall into two groups. A main group (5 in number forming a consecutive series Regs. 2F-2j) which primarily apply only to the encourage- ment or maintenance by the Controller of the food supply of the country, and a supplemental group (6 in number Regs. 2s, 2E, 7, 8c, 8cc, and 35A) which as originally inserted in the Code conferred powers only on the Admiralty, Army Council, and Minister of Munitions, and were subsequently extended to the Food Controller so far as they are ancillary to the main group. Both groups (i.e., all 11 of the Regulations) are printed as the second section of Part I. of this Manual (pp. 5-16) in the form which they appear to assume as applying to the Food Controller. The " Main Group " were in more restricted form introduced into the Code on January 10th, 1917, shortly after the first appointment of a Food Controller; they were then substituted for the "Board of Trade" Regulations of the preceding November above referred to ; they have been repeatedly extended. The extension of the "supplemental group" to the Food Controller was only effected in the later part of 1917 and in the present year, 1918. The following is an outline of the powers which for the purposes of encouraging or maintaining the food supply of the country he may exercise under the " main group " of Regulations. (i) he may make ordeis regulating, or giving directions with respect to the production, manufacture, treatment, use, consumption, transport, storage, distribution, supply, sale or purchase of, or other dealing in, or measures to be taken in relation to any article, fix maximum and minimum prices, and provide for entiy on premises and inspection (Reg. 2r (1), p. 8) ; Powers of the Food Controller. vii (ii) he may by order require owners or dealers to place any articles at his disposal and to deliver the same to him or as he shall direct, the compensation to be deter- mined by a single arbitrator ujider the order (Reg. 2F (2), p. 8) ; (iii) he can in anticipation of a Proclamation restricting exports 'empower the Commissioners of Customs and Excise to take action (Reg. 2r (4), p. 9) ; (iv) he may by order require persons engaged in the produc- tion, manufacture, purchase, sale, distribution, trans- port, storage, or shipment, of any article -to make returns giving particulars as to their businesses and may require the returns to be verified : to test the returns, or on failure to make the same the officers of the Ministry can enter premises and inspect : the returns and information must not be disclosed or published except for prosecution purposes : returns can also be required from individuals without a formal order (Reg. 2o, p. 9) ; (v) he may by order take (or confer on any person or body of persons) possession of any factory or workshop or other premises in which any article of food specified in the order is manufactured, stored, or produced or adapted for sale, or which are used for the purpose of the distribution of any such article, or of any plant used in connection therewith ; if suet possession is so taken the occupier, &c., of the factory, &c., must comply with the Controller's directions (Reg. 2oa (1) (2), p. 10); (vi) he may give directions as to the woik in any factory, workshop, or other premises in which any article of food, &c., is manufactured, stored, or produced or adapted for sale or which are used for the purpose of the distribution of any such article, 'with the object of making the factory, &c., or the plant 01 labour therein as useful as possible for the manufacture, storage, production or distribution of food (2ao (4) (a), p. 11); (vii) he may regulate or restrict the carrying on of work in any such last mentioned factory, &c., or the engage- ment or employment of workmen therein, or may remove the plant therefrom with a view to maintaining or increasing the production of food (Reg. 2oo (4) (b), p. 11); (yiii) he can (but need not) before exercising any of his powers as to any particular article of food, &c., appoint persons to hold an inquiry and to report to him (Regs. 2n, 2j (2), pp. 11, 13); (ix) he can make arrangements with any other Government Department for the exercise on his behalf by that Department and their officers of certain of the powers of the Food Controller and his officers with respect to any particular article (Reg. 2j, p. 12); (x) he may by order provide for the exercise and perform- ance of powers arid duties by any persons or bodies of -022 a 4 viii Power* of the Food Controller. persons approved by him for the purpose or by local or other bodies constituted by or under any of his orders, and the Local Government Board, the Secretaiy for Scotland, and the Local Government Board for Ireland may by arrangement with the Controller confer on local authorities the powers requisite to carry out the Controller's orders (Reg. 2j (1), p. 12). The " supplemental group " of Regulations confer the follow- ing powers on the Controller so far as regards articles as to which he has powers under the '' main group " : (xi) he may take possession of food and of any articles required for or in connection with the production thereof; if he so does the price to be paid is to be determined on certain principles (Reg. 2s, p. 5); (xii) he may by order regulate, restrict, or prohibit the manu- facture, purchase, sale, delivery of or payment for, or other dealing in, food or in any article required for or in connection with the production thereof; any person refusing to sell any article, the sale whereof is so regulated may be required by the Controller to sell it on the terms and conditions laid down by his order, and to deliver it to any person named by him (Reg. 2E, p. 7); (xiii) he may by order require the occupier of any factory or workshop in which food, or any articles reauired for the production thereof, are or may be manufactured, produced, or repaired, to place at his disposal the whole or any part of the output of the factory or workshop, and tc deliver such output, or to any person named by him ; if he does so the price to be paid is to be determined under certain rules (Reg. 7, p. 13) ; (xiv) he may authorise or require any conti actor holding a contract with him, or any sub-contractor, to use any registered design for the purposes of such contract without the consent of the registered proprietor (Reg. 8c, p. 14); (xv) he may with a view to the more efficient or increased production of food require any person to communicate to his nominee particulars of any invention, process or method of manufacture, or of any article manu- factured or proposed to be manufactured, together with drawings, models, or plans, and to explain and demonstrate the same (Reg. 8cc, p. 15). (xvi) he may after consultation with a Secretary of State make safety rules for factories, &c. (Reg. 35A, p. 16). Regulation 63 of the Defence of the Realm Regulations applies the Interpretation Act to the Regulations, The effect of that Regulation, which also applies to the interpretation of Orders, is referred to under Section IV. 3 of this Introduction. Regula- tions 64 to 66 of the Defence of the Realm Regulations (which, together with Regulation 63, are printed as Part X. 2 of the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual," pp. 440, 441) provide for the construction of the Regulations conferring the- order- making powers. General Character of Food Controller's Orders. ix IV. Orders of the Food Controller. 1. GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE ORDERS. Primary Division into " Maintenance of Supply " and " Local Organisation " Orders. The Orders of the Food Controller lend themselves to division into two main classes viz., those directly relating to the maintenance of supply of articles of food and those setting up local organisations for the carrying out and enforcement of the Orders. The division of this Manual into Parts is based on that division, with certain minor variations dictated by convenience. All the numerous Orders of the first class, i.e., the " Mainten- ance of Supply Orders," which were in force on April 30th, 1918, form Part II. hereof; they are of exceedingly diverse characters, and an attempt to give an outline of their main pur- ports follows immediately below. The far less numerous Orders of the " Local Organisation ' rlass (which establish food control committees and regulate their procedure and accounts and confer oil them the power to enforce and to prosecute contraventions of the Orders) form Part III. of this Manual ; an outline of their provisions will be found in Section VI. of this Introduction. The Orders of the Local Government Board, Secretary for Scotland, &c., are printed in the same Part of the Manual and in the same group of such Part as the Food Controller's Orders to which they are ancillary. The Cattle Feeding* Stuffs Committee Order belongs, strictly speaking, to the " Local Organisation " class, and, therefore, to Part III. hereof, but it has been thought more convenient to print it in Part II. (p. 107) in the same Group as the other Cattle Feeding Stuffs Orders. Main Purports of the Maintenance of Supply Orders. The Orders made by the Food Controller :t for the purpose of encouraging or maintaining the food supply of the country " as provided by Regulation 2r and the other Enabling Regulations are necessarily of very diverse natures. Their more salient features may be briefly stated as follows : (i) REQUIRING RETURNS. Certain Orders provide that returns shall be made to the Secretary of the Ministry of the stocks of particular articles held on a specified date. In some cases the Orders are confined to such provision ; in others the provision requiring returns forms one clause of an Order relating to Requisition- ing, Maximum Prices, &c. Some of the Order; provide for monthly or other periodic returns. [Fo> references to these Orders see " Returns " in thi; Index.] (ii) REQUISITIONING ARTICLES. Certain Orders provide for the taking possession of stocks of particular articles already in the country, or in the case of imported articles on their arrival. Some of tht 1 General Character of Food Controller's Orders. Orders provide for the requisitioning of all future stocks or output of particular articles. In most cases a clause is inserted providing- for the appointment of an arbitrator to determine in default of agreement the compensation to be paid for articles requisitioned under the Order. By a general Order, Food Control Committees have been given powers of local requisi- tioning of foodstuffs held for the purposes of retail sale. [For references to these Orders see the head- ings " Arbitrator as to Price of Articles Requisi- tioned " and " Requisition of Commodities and Premises " in the Index.] (iii) FIXING MAXIMUM PRICES. Certain Orders prescribe maximum wholesale and /or retail prices for various commodities. In a few cases importers' and middle- men's prices are also fixed. Most of these Orders contain provisions as to terms of trading and charges for wrappings or containers. In some cases " whole- sale " and "retail" sale are defined according to the amount of the commodity sold. Food Control Committees have power to vary the maximum prices of certain articles in their district. [For references to these Orders see the heading " Maximum Prices " in the Index.] (iv) RATIONING AND LOCAL DISTRIBUTION. Sugar, meat, butter and margarine are at present (April 30, 1918) rationed commodities. The weekly ration of sugar throughout Great Britain is J Ib. Equivalent rations of meat are fixed by Order, and the provisions as to supply on coupons vary (April 30, 1918) in London and the Home Counties from the rest of Great Britain. The weekly ration of butter and margarine in London and the Home Counties is 4 oz. Elsewhere butter and margarine are distributed locally by Food Control Committees which also control the distribu- tion of tea, bacon, hams, lard, pigs, dried fruits, milk and potatoes. [For references to the Orders prescribing the rationing and distribution of these articles see the headings " Sugar," " Meat," &c., in the Index.] (v) RESTRICTING DEALINGS.

(xi) TAKING OF FISH. By Orders of the Food Controller, the possession of freshwater fish is authorised, and the time for taking salmon with nets in Ireland is altered. Certain of the Food Controller's Orders empower the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, the Fishery Board for Scotland, or the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland to authorise the taking of " sea fish " in England, Scot- land and Ireland respectively, and of " freshwater fish " in England and Ireland respectively. Sub- sidiary Orders of the English Board vary the close season for oysters and freshwater fish, and provide for the taking of pike, eels and kelts; subsidiary Orders of the Irish Department provide for the taking of fish in local waters by various means, and for the use of drift nets for herrings.

The Food Control Com- mittee for Ireland is empowered to direct that notices must be displayed by retailers in Irish shops showing the current maximum prices. Such a provision is inserted in numerous Orders as to particular articles of food sold by retail in Great Britain.

GROUPING OF THE ORDERS IN THIS MANUAL. Grouping of " Maintenance of Supply " Orders. The Food Controller's Orders directly relating to the maintenance of supply of articles of food are as above stated printed, together with those Orders of the Local Government Board, &c., which are directly ancillary to or made in pursuance of such " maintenance of supply " Orders, as Part II. of this Manual. xiv Grouping of Orders in the Manual. .Following the arrangement adopted in the previous (the January) Edition of the " Food Controller's Orders " which this present " Food Control Manual" supersedes, these "main- tenance of supply " Orders have been divided into groups accord- ing to the class of articles, or matter, with which they deal. It has been considered convenient to retain the numbering of the 18 groups which appeared in the said previous Edition, and, accordingly, the 9 wholly new groups, which have been called for by the Orders of the last three months, have been given intermediate numbers, denoted by a letter following a figure as in the Classified List of the Groups and of the Orders falling with each of them which is printed (pp. 34-42) below. Thus the new group " National Kitchens," which falls alpha- betically between Groups 11 " Milk, &c." and 12 " Oils and Fats," has been numbered HA. There are (April 30th, 1918} no less than 267 " maintenance of supply" Orders in force and printed in Part II. of this Manual : of these 257 are Orders, &c., of the Food Controller and the remaining 10 are Orders of the Treasury, Local Govern- ment Board, Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, &c., ancillary to, or made under powers conferred by, those Controller's Orders. The majority of these Orders relate solely to a particular article of food, e.g., Bread, Meat, or Sugar, or to a group oi allied articles of food, e.g., wheat, barley and oats, or oils and fats ; but certain of them relate to all or a great variety of foods, e.g., the Orders which prohibit hoarding and the making the sale of one article of food conditional on the purchase of any other one, and those providing for the requisitioning and local distri- bution of any article of food and for the introduction of rationing schemes or for the regulation of meals at public eating places and the establishment of national kitchens. The grouping of this large mass of Orders of such diverse characters has presented many difficulties*, and in the arrange- ment adopted any attempt at a grouping on a scientific basis has been discarded in favour of one which seems to afford the most rapid and easiest means of reference. The Groups adopted overlap to a certain extent ; this could not have been avoided under any system of grouping. "Where an Order falls under more than one group its text is printed in that group to which it seems more principally to belong, the heading being repeated by way of cross-reference under the other group, or groups, to which it in part belongs. Thus, ' The Damaged Grain, Seeds, and Pulse Order," which relates to wheat and other cereals, -is printed in Group 3, " Bread Flour and Cereals," but as it also relates to pulse and to seeds, it is cross-referred to under Groups 2, " Beans, Peas, and Pulse," and 15, " Seeds." In the Classified List the Orders of each group are enumerated in the alphabetical sequence of their short titles, but in the text the sequence of the Orders of each group is that of their date of issue. Proof, Construction and Citation of the Orders. x-v Grouping of "Local Organisation" Orders. These Orders, which establish food control committees for each local area throughout Great Britain but one general food control committee for Ireland, lend themselves for division according to the parts of the United Kingdom to which they relate. Part III. of -this Manual, which comprises the 9 Orders of the Food Controller and the 5 ancillary Orders of the Local Government Board and Secretary for Scotland which now (April 30, 1918) regulate the local organisation, has accordingly been divided into three sec- tions relating to England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland respectively. The Orders in each such section form two groups of which the first embraces those relating to the constitution, &c. of committees, and the second to the enforcement, &c. of the Food Controller's Orders. At the head of each group the Orders falling within the same are listed in the alphabetical sequence of their short titles. 3. PROOF, CONSTRUCTION AND CITATION OF THE ORDERS. Proof of the Orders. Section 11 (2), (3) of the New Ministries and Secretaries Act, 1916 (6 & 7 Geo. 5, c. 68) (p. 3) provides for the reception in evidence of Orders, &c. sealed with the seal of the Minister authenticated by the signature of the Minister or of a secretary, or some person authorised by the Minister to act in that behalf, or signed by the secretary or such authorised person. The Documentary Evidence Acts, which as amended and applied to any of the Departments connected with food legislation are reproduced as Section 1 of Part X. of the " Food (Supply and Pro- duction) Manual " (p. 437) provide that prima facie evidence of Orders of the Food Controller, the Local Government Board, the Secretary for Scotland, or the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, or the Department of Agriculture and Technical In- struction for Ireland may be given by the production of copies thereof printed " Tinder the Authority of H.M.'s Stationery Office." This Manual is printed under that Authority, and the Orders therein printed are evidence accordingly. Construction of the Orders and of the Regulations. Regula- tion 63 of the Defence of the Realm Regulations applies the Interpretation Act, 1889, for the purpose of the interpretation of the Regulations and of all Orders made thereunder. The effect of that Regulation would appear to be that : (1) in the Regulations themselves all expressions defined by the Interpretation Act (52 & 53 Viet. c. 63), though not occurring in the Defence of the Realm Acts have the respective meanings so given to them and all the rules of construction laid down by that Act for the construction of Acts of Parliament apply to the con- struction of the Regulations ; (2) in an Order under the Regulations expressions occurring both in the Order and in the empowering Regulations have the same meaning as they have in the empower- ing Regulations (see s. 31 of the Interpretation Act) ; xvi Application to U.K. or otherwise of the Orders. (3) but both as regards the Regulations and the Orders thereunder such interpretation is excluded by anything in the Regulation or Order importing " a contrary intention." (See the provision to this effect which occurs throughout the Interpretation Act.) Citation of the Orders. Nearly all the Orders printed in this Manual contain clauses conferring short titles and providing that the Orders may be cited by such. At the head of each Order will be found its short title and date, or if it has not got a short title its purport. With hardly an exception all the Orders printed in this Manual are also printed as Statutory Rules and Orders and are numbered accordingly the number being in this Manual printed below the short title. Section 3 (3) of the Rules Publication Act, 1893 (56 & 57 Viet. c. 66) provides that without prejudice to any other mode of citation such a Statutory Order may be cited by such number and the calendar year. 4. APPLICATION TO UNITED KINGDOM on OTHERWISE OF THE ORDERS. Application of Enabling Regulations. The Defence of the Realm Regulations so far as they confer powers on the Food Controller (see Section III. 2, pp. vi.-viii., of this Introduction) apply to the whole United Kingdom, i.e., to England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and thereto only. Parts of the Food Control Regulations have as adapted so as to confer powers 011 the LieutenankGovernor of the Isle of Man been extended to that Isle; none of the Food Control Regulations have been extended to the Channel Islands. Application of Food Controller's Orders. It results that an Order of the Food Controller extends in the absence of a pro- vision restricting its application throughout the same territorial area as that to which the enabling power extends, i.e., to the whole United Kingdom, but not further. Certain of the Orders are specifically expressed to apply only to certain parts of the United Kingdom: see the headings, ''England and Wales," . (3) Enforcement of Orders and Prosecutions. The Food Control Committee for Ireland (Powers) Order (referred to under (2) above) (p. xxvi) confers on the Irish Committee the power of enforcing all Orders heretofore made or hereafter to be made by the Food -Controller, and authorises the Committee and such persons as they may designate or appoint for the purpose to summarily prosecute breaches of any of the Controller's Orders. This " Powers " Order provides that the Controller can with- draw any of his Orders from these enforcement and prosecutions provisions, but that in any proceedings it is to be presumed, until the contrary be proved, that those provisions apply in respect of the Order contraventions of which are being prosecuted. Tinder an Order of the Controller of June llth, 1917 (p. 550), an inspector of weights and measures can (a) take samples of flour in the possession of a miller, baker, &c., (b) require tea retailers to weigh in his presence packages of tea, and (iii) prosecute for breaches of the Bread Order (p. 71), the Cake and Pastry Order (p. 75), or the Tea Nett Weight Order (p. 518), or of Clause 5 of the Manufacture of Flour and Bread Order (No. 2) (p. 68). The " Powers" Order specially preserves all powers of the police, &c. xxviii Enforcement of Orders and Prosecutions. VII. Enforcement of Orders and Prosecutions for Contravention thereof. Enforcement of Orders and Prosecutions of Contraventions. As is stated in detail in Section VI (p. xviii), the power of enforcing all Orders of the Food Controller, made or hereafter to be made, is vested throughout Great Britain in the local Food Control Committees, and in Ireland in the general Food Control Committee for that country. In England and Wales and in Ireland the Food Control Com- mittees are also empowered to summarily prosecute for contraven- tions of the Food Controller's Orders, but in Scotland, where all summary prosecutions proceed at the instance of and are con- ducted by the procurator-fiscal, the committees have no prosecution powers. In England andl Wales a committee can arrange with the local authority to conduct prosecutions, and if they so arrange the local authority has the power of enforcing Orders. The full text of the Orders which confer these enforcement and prosecution powers is printed in Part III. of this Manual. All those of the Defence of the Realm Regulations which relate to the Trial and Punishment of Offences are printed as Part IX. of the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual." " Summary " and other Prosecutions. Those Regulations declare the contravention of particular Regulations or Orders thereunder to be " a summary offence " and provide (Reg. 56 (2)) that a person alleged to be guilty of an offence so declared to be a " summary offence" shall (if not subject to the Naval Discipline Act or to military law) be tried by a court of summary jurisdiction and not otherwise. A contravention of any of what are called in Section III. 2 of this Introduction (p. vi) the " main group " of Regulations con- ferring powers on the Controller (i.e., Regs. 2F-2j) (pp. 8-13), or of the Controller's Orders thereunder, or of rules made by him under Regulation 35A (p. 16), is so declared to be a " summary offence." A contravention of Regulations 2u, 2E or 7 (pp. 5-8, 13, con- ferring the powers specified under (xi.), (xii.) and (xiii.) in the capitulation under Section III. 2 (p. viii) above) or the improper disclosure of information as to an invention or process under Reg. 8cc (p. 15, see (xv) of the capitulation), or of the Con- troller's Orders thereunder, is, unless declared by Order of the Food Controller to be a " summary offence," an " offence," and therefore may fall to be tried either by a court of summary jurisdiction, or by court-martial or by a civil court with a jury, as the competent authority may decide. (See Introductory Note to Part IX. of the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual," p. 409 thereof.) Enforce7nent of Order* and Prosecutions. xxix The vast majority of prosecutions for contraventions of the Eood Controller's Orders are before Courts of Summary Jurisdic- tion, and, in view of this, the Defence of the Realm Regulations relating solely to summary Trial and Punishment have in the said Manual been arranged in a separate group and severed from those which relate solely to the other two modes of trial; miscellaneous provisions as to offences which are common to all three modes of trial being brought together as a fourth group. Under this plan only section 1 (" Trial and Punishment by Courts of Summary Jurisdiction") (p. 410) and 4 ("Miscella- neous Provisions as to Offences ") (p. 429) of Part IX of the ' Food (Supply and Production) Manual" affect or need to be referred to by those concerned with prosecutions before Courts of Summary Jurisdiction. The Trial and Prosecutions Regulations as so printed in the said Manual are accompanied by full Editorial notes which give information, inter alia, as to the constitution of the various courts of summary jurisdiction and the areas of jurisdiction. Salient Features of Summary Prosecution Provisions. It will suffice to state here the more salient features of the Regulations as regards summary prosecutions, the page references appended being to Part IX. of the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual." (i) FORUM. The question of how an offence not declared to be a summary offence shall be tried is determined as provided by Reg. 56 (pp. 411, 412, 418-420.) (ii) VENUE. The " determining place " may be taken as either that at which the offence was committed, or that in which the offender may be. (Reg. 58, p. 416.) (iii) WHO MAY PROSECUTE. In England and Ireland an offence may not (without the consent of the Attorney- General) be prosecuted summarily except by a food control committee or by certain official persons. (Reg. 56 (11), p. 414.) In Scotland all prosecutions in the sheriff court (which is the court for the trial of summary offences (Reg. 58, p. 416)) proceed at the instance of, and are conducted by, the procurator- fiscal. (iv) LIMITATION or TIME FOR PROSECUTIONS. A contraven- tion may be prosecuted notwithstanding it took place more than six months before the institution of the proceedings (Reg. 56 (5), p. 412). The effect of this provision is to exclude the operation of s. 11 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1848. (v) CLAIM TO TRIAL BY JURY. This cannot, notwithstand- ing s. 17 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1879, be claimed in a case triable summarily. (Reg. 58, p. 416). xxx Enforcement of Orders and Prosecutions. (vi) HEARING IN CAMERA. On the application of the prose- cution the public may be excluded from the hearing-; but the sentence must be passed in public. (Reg. 58, p. 41T.) (vii) PUNISHMENT. The maximum sentence may be six months with or without hard labour, and a fine of <100, and forfeiture of any goods in respect of which the offence was committed (Reg. 58, p. 416), and also double the excess profits obtained by over-charging for food (8 & 9 Geo. 5, c. 9, see p. 565 of this present Manual). (viii) APPEALS. An appeal from a summary conviction lies (a) In England or Wales to quarter sessions, or to the High Court (i.e., to a Divisional Court of the King's Bench Division) by special case on the ground that the conviction is erroneous in point of law, or is in excess of jurisdiction (42 & 43 Viet. c. 49, s. 33); but an appeal by special case is an abandon- ment of the right of appeal to quarter sessions " finally and conclusively and to all intents and purposes " (20 & 21 Viet. c. 43, s. 14). The decision of quarter sessions in the one case and the Divisional Court in the other is final and conclusive. (b) In Scotland by stated case to the High Court of Justiciary (8 Edw. 7, c. 65, ss. 60-76) or by l ( any other competent mode of appeal ' ' (see s. 76 of that Act). There is no appeal " on the merits " in any case nor any further appeal from the High Court of Justiciary. (c) In Ireland to quarter sessions or by special case on point of law to the High Court. Forfeiture of Excess Profits. The Defence of the R^alm (Food Profits) Bill (H.C.B., 1918, 11 reprinted as 41) was debated on second reading in the House of Commons on April 24th, 1918 (105 H.C. Deb. 5 s. 1076-1085) ; on April 30th it was considered in Committee (105 H.C. Deb. 5 s. 1453-1477), read a third time, and passed. On May 16th, 1918, it received the R/oyal Assent. The Act (8 & 9 Geo. 5, c. 9), which provides for the forfeiture of double the sum of the excess profits accruing from overcharg- ing for food, is printed in the Appendix, p. 565.

[22nd December 1916.] Be it enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows : 1, 2. [These sections relate solely to the Ministry of Labour, and are therefore omitted from this Manual.^ MINISTRY OF FOOD. 3. For the purpose of economising and maintaining the food Establish- supply of the country during the present war, it shall be lawful m ent of for His Majesty to appoint a Minister of Food under the title of ^ in i stl 7 of Food Controller, who shall hold office during His Majesty's pleasure. 4. It shall be the duty of the Food Controller to regulate the Powers and supply and consumption of food in such manner as he thinks best duties of for maintaining a proper supply of food, and to take such steps as d Con " he thinks best for encouraging the production of food, and for those purposes he shall have such powers or duties of any Govern- ment department or authority, whether conferred by statute or otherwise, as His Majesty may, by Order in Council, transfer to him, or authorise him to exercise or perform concurrently with, 5022 A Nc< Ministries and Secretaries Act, 1916 (6 # 7 Geo. 5. c. 68). 5 & 6 Geo. 5. 0.8.

(1) Any Minister appointed under this Act may appoint such secretaries, officers and servants as the Minister may determine. (2) There shall be paid out of moneys provided by Parlia- ment to any Minister appointed under this Act .... an annual salary not exceeding two thousand pounds, and to the secretaries, officers and servants of each of the Ministers estab- lished under this Act, -such salaries or remuneration as the Treasury may from time to time determine. (3) The expenses of each of the Ministers established under this Act, to such an amount as may be sanctioned by the Treasury, shall be paid out of moneys provided by Parliament. 11. (1) Each Minister appointed under this Act may adopt an official seal and describe himself generally by the style and title .... in the case of the Minister of Food, of Food Controller . ; and the seal of the Minister shall be officially and judicially noticed, and shall be authenticated by the signature of the Minister or of a secretary or some person authorised by the Minister to act in that behalf. (a) TRANSFERRED AND CONCURRENT POWERS OF FOOD CONTROLLER. Under this provision two (and only two) Orders in Council have been made, viz. : (1) "The Food Controller (Concurrent Powers) Order, 1917" (St. R. & O., 1917, No. 124), which amended s. 1 (2) of the Defence of the Realm (Amdt.) (No. 2) Act, 1915 (relating to interference with contracts) by giving the Food Controller concurrent powers there- under. That sub-section as thus and otherwise amended is printed in the form it now appears to assume in Part XI. (" Relief from Liability under Contracts affected by Departments' Requirements or Restrictions ") of the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual," p. 443. (2) "The Food Controller (Transfer of Powers) Order, 1917" (St. R. & 0., 1917, No. 287), transferring to the Controller certain powers of the Board of Trade as to Certificates authorising Brewing for Military Canteens. That Order amends the Output of Beer Restric- tion Acts which as thus amended are printed in the Consolidated Form which they appear to assume as Appendix Y. to the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual," p. 470. (b) POWERS or FOOD CONTROLLER UNDER DEFENCE OF THE REALM REGULATIONS. Such of these Regulations as confer express powers on the Controller are printed pp. 5-16 of this Manual. New Ministries and Secretaries Act, 1916 (6 # 7 Geo. 5. c. 68). 3 (2) Every document purporting to be an order or other instrument issued by a Minister appointed under this Act, and to be sealed with the seal of the Minister authenticated in manner provided by this section, or to be signed by the secretary or any person authorised as aforesaid, shall be received in evidence and be deemed to be such order or instrument without further proof, unless the contrary is shown. (3) A certificate signed by a Minister appointed under this Act, that any order or other instrument purporting to be made or issued by him is so made or issued, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact so certified. (4) The Documentary Evidence Act, 1868, as amended by the 31 & 32 Viet. Documentary Evidence Act, 1882, () shall apply to a Minister c - 37 - appointed under this Act in like manner as if that Minister 45 9 * were mentioned in the first column to the Schedule of the first- mentioned Act, or as if that Minister or a Secretary of the Ministry, or any person authorised by the Minister to act on his behalf, were mentioned in the second column of that Schedule, and as if the regulations referred to in those Acts included any document issued by the Minister. (5) Where in connection with the undertaking of any duties or powers by a Minister appointed under this Act, it appears to the Minister and the department or authority concerned, that in any notice, order, contract, or other document, the name of the Minister should be substituted for the name of any depart- ment or authority, or that the name of any officer of the Ministry should be substituted for the name of any officer of any such department or authority, the Minister may order that the sub- stitution shall take effect, subject to any limitations contained in the order, and, where such an order is made, the notice, order, contract, or document, shall have effect in accordance with the order. (a) DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE ACTS. These Acts as amended and applied by various Acts provide three alternative modes of proving (inter alia) Orders of the Food Controller. Those modes are the production of (1) a copy of the Gazette, (2) an officially printed copy of the Order or (3) a certified copy or extract . One of the objects of the Rules Publication Act, 1893, was to avoid unneces- sary gazetting (see s. 3 (3) thereof), and accordingly none of the Orders of the Food Controller have been published in the London Gazette, but have all been officially printed as " Statutory Rules and Orders." This Manual comprises officially printed copies of all the Orders of the Food Controller in force (April 30, 1918), and any such Order may accordingly be proved by the production of this Manual, or of a separate Statutory Rule and Order copy of the Order. So much of the Documentary Evidence Acts as relates to the reception in evidence of any of the Orders printed or noted in this Manual is printed as Part X (1) ("Proof of Regulations Orders and Documents") of the "Food (Supply and Production) Manual," p. 437, in the form which as applying to that matter it appears to assume. 5022 New Ministries and Secretaries Act, 1916 (6 # 7 Geo. 5. c. 68).

(1) The office of a Minister appointed under this Act, or of secretary in a Ministry established under this Act, shall not render the holder thereof incapable of being elected to, or sitting or voting as a member of, the Commons House of Parlia- ment, but not more than one secretary in each Ministry shall sit as a member of that House at the same time. (2) The office of a Minister appointed under this Act shall be deemecl to be an office included in Schedule H. of the Representation of the People Act, 1867, and Schedule H. of the Representation of the People (Scotland) Act, 1868, and Schedule E. of the Representation of the People (Ireland) Act, 1868. (a) (3) A Minister appointed under this Act shall take oath of allegiance and official oath, and shall be deemed to be included in the First Part of the Schedule to the Promissory Oaths Act, 1868.(b) 13. The office of Food Controller .... and the Ministry of Food .... shall cease to exist on the termination of a period of twelve months after the conclusion of the present war, or such earlier date as may be fixed by His Majesty in Council, and then any appointments made under the powers conferred by this Act shall be determined, and any powers or duties which have been transferred to the Food Controller .... under this Act shall, without prejudice to any action taken in pursuance of those powers or duties, revert to the department' or authority from which they were transferred. 14. (1) Any Order in Council made for the purposes of this Act may be added to, varied, or revoked by a subsequent Order in Council. (2) Where any powers and duties are tranferred by virtue of this Act, the transfer shall take effect as from a date to be fixed by Order of His Majesty in Council, and different dates may be fixed for different powers and duties. 15. This Act may be cited as the New Ministries and Secretaries Act, 1916. (a) NON- VACATION OF SEAT IN PARLIAMENT ON ACCEPTANCE OF ANOTHER OFFICE. The effect of this enactment is to add the new offices to the list of those offices immediate succession from the one to the other of which does not vacate a seat in the House of Commons. The list as enacted in 1867 and 1868 for Erfgland, Scotland, and Ireland was in identical terms, but on the one hand . it has been extended by numerous enactments, and on the other certain Ministerial Offices existing in 1867 are now obsolete. That list in its present form will be found printed in Appendix VII (1) to the " Food (Supply and Production) Manual," p. 510. (b) OFFICERS BY WHOM THE OATHS ARE TO BE TAKEN. The effect of this enactment is that the oaths are to be tendered to the Food Controller by the Clerk of the Council and taken in the presence of His Majesty in Council or otherwise as His Majesty shall direct.

The whole of the Defence of the Realm Regulations reproduced under the authority Of Regulation 64 as one single Consolidated Code (which by successive additions now comprises nearly 250 Regulations), and revised to the last day of each month, are published at the com- mencement of the ensuing month. In "the Defence of the Realm Manual," which will henceforward be issued twice a year (the latest Edition covering the legislation to February 28th, 1918), the Regula- tions are accompanied by full editorial notes, by the full text of both the enabling Acts and of the Departmental Orders made under the Regulations with full notes, and by an analytical index to the whole of the Defence of the Realm Legislation. This Food Control Manual comprises only those of the Regulations which confer powers on the Food Controller. Such Regulations are here printed in the form which they appear to assume as applying to the Food Controller all variations from the form in which they appear in the general Consolidated Code being indicated by thick black lines.

Regulation 2M (1) (printed in the April, 1918, Monthly Edition of the Defence of the Realm Regulations in the form in which it was in force on April 30th, 1918), provides that the powers of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, and of the Board of Agriculture for Scotland as to land not cultivated so as to increase food supply shall be exercised " after such consultation with the Food Controller as may be arranged." 5022 A 3 Powers of Food Controller to Regulate Manufacture or Dealings in Food. tioiis are, in the absence of any express pro vision to the contrary, determined, (a) In determining such price(b) regard need not be had to the market price but shall be had (a) if the goods are acquired from the grower or producer thereof, to the cost of production and to the rate of profit usually earned by him in respect of similar goods before the war and to whether such rate of profit was unreasonable or excessive, and to any other cir- cumstances of the case ; (6) if the goods are acquired from any person other than the grower or producer thereof, to the price paid by such person for the goods and to whether such price was unreasonable or excessive, and to the rate of profit usually earned in respect of the sale of similar goods before the war, and to whether such rate or profit was unreasonable or excessive, and to any other circum- stances of the case; so, however, that if the person from whom the goods are acquired himself acquired the goods otherwise than in the usual course of his business, no allowance, or an allowance at a reduced rate, on account of profit shall be made : (a) TRIBUNAL FOR COMPENSATION CLAIMS. On March 31st, 1915, a Royal Commission (" The Defence of the Realm (Losses) Commission ") was appointed, the terms-of reference of which (printed at length at pp. 367, 368 of Supple- ment No. 3 to the Manual of Emergency Legislation) are as follows : " to enquire and determine, and to report what sums (in cases not other- " wise provided for) ought in reason and fairness to be paid out of " public funds to applicants who (not being subjects of an enemy " State) are resident or carrying on business in the United Kingdom, " in respect of direct and substantial loss incurred and damage " sustained by them by reason of interference with their property or " business in the United Kingdom through the exercise by the Crown " of its rights and duties in the defence of the Realm," The Commissioners thereby appointed are empowered (i.) to call before them such persons as they shall judge likely to afford them any information upon the subject of the Commission : and also to* call for, have access to and examine all such books, documents, registers and records as may afford them the fullest information on the subject, and to inquire of and concerning the premises by all other lawful ways and means whatsoever. (ii.) to visit and personally inspect such places as they may deem it ex- pedient so to inspect for the more effectual carrying out of the purposes aforesaid. The Commissioner further provides that if the Commissioners deem it expedient the powers and privileges conferred on them shall belong to, and may be exer- cised by, any one or more of them, and that they shall, from time to time, report to the Treasury. The (April 30th, 1918) present members of the Commission are : Lord Terrington (chairman) ; Sir Matthew G. Wallace ; The Rt. Hon. B. Shortt, K.C., M.P. ; and The Rt. Hon. Mr. Laurence Hardy, M.P.

EXPLANATION OF CLASSIFICATION AND ARBANGEMENT. . For the purposes of this Part of this Manual the Orders therein printed have, as in the previous (the January) Edition hereof, been divided into groups according to the class of articles, or matter, with which the Orders deal. It has been considered convenient to retain the numbering of the 18 groups which appeared in the said previous Edition, and, accordingly, the 9 new groups which have been called for by the Orders of the last three months have been given intermediate numbers, denoted by a letter following a figure as in the List of the Groups and of the Orders falling within each of them which is printed below. Where an Order falls under more than one group its text is printed in that group to which it seems more principally to belong, the heading being repeated by way of cross-reference under the other group, or groups, to which it in part belongs. Thus, "The Damaged Grain, Seeds, and Pulse Order/' which relates to wheat and other cereals, is printed in group 3, " Bread Flour and Cereals, " but as it also relates to pulse and to seeds, it is cross-referred to under groups 2, " Beans, Peas, and Puke," and 15 " Seeds. " In the Classified List the Orders of each group are enumerated in the alphabetical sequence- of their short titles, but in the text the sequence of the Orders of each group is that of their date of issue. The Orders of the Food Controller as to the Constitution, Pro- cedure and Accounts of Food Control Committees and the Enforcement of Orders and Prosecutions are not included in this Part of this Manual nor in the grouping above referred to. Such Orders, with the Orders of the Local Government Board and the Secretary for Scotland ancillary thereto, form a separate Part of this Manual Part III. ALEXANDER PULLING.

Of these the London Bread Act of 1 822 (3 Geo. 4. c. cvi. ; local) applies to the area within 10 miles of the Royal Exchange, the Bread Act, 1 836 (6 & 7 Will. 4. c. 37) to the rest of England and to Scotland, and the Bread (Ireland) Act, 1838 (1 & 2 Viet. c. 28) to Ireland.

For other restrictions on use of sugar, see Orders printed in Group 17 (" Sugar "). (b) SALE BY WEIGHT. S. 4 of each of the Bread Acts referred to in footnote (c) above, prohibited the sale of bread throughout the U.K. except by weight, but this provision did not extend to the sale of bread " usually sold as French or fancy bread " when those Acts came into force. See the proviso to s. 4 in each Act and Aerated Bread Co., v. Gregg. (1873) L.R. 8 Q.B., 355 ; the test of whether bread is " fancy bread " is a question of shape and size rather than of quality.

(a) (a) PROVISIONS OF SALE OF FOOD AND DRUGS ACTS AS TO WARRANTIES AND INVOICES. S. 25 of the 1875 Act (38 & 39 Viet. c. 63) provides that if i/, defendant in any prosecution under that Act proves that he bought the article in the same state as sold and with a warranty he shall be discharged. There must be some writing connecting the particular consignment with the warranty. A series of reported cases turn on the question as to whether an invoice amounts to a warranty and it would seem that it does so amount if it contains a state- ment guaranteeing the article, provided that it can be regarded as the actual contract of sale. S. 7 of the Margarine Act, 1887 (50 & 51 Viet., c. 52), makes provision as to warranties, and s. 12 of that Act provides for proceedings thereunder being the same as are prescribed by ss. 12 to 28 of the Sale of Food and Drugs Act, 1875. S. 20 of the 1899 Act (62 & 63 Viet. c. 51) provides that a warranty or invoice shall not be available as a defence unless the defendant sends a copy thereof to the purchaser within 7 days after service of the summons and makes further provision as to warranties.

The following Notice appeared in the Press of September 1st, 1917 : " The arrangements made for the purchase of cattle in the United Kingdom for the feeding of the Army during the next few months have been revised in the light of a reduction in the demands of the Army, which were originally estimated at 250,000 head. The reduction in the weekly purchases will be spread over the whole area, and a smaller number of stock will be taken from England, Scotland, and Ireland. The purchases will be carried out in England by traders nominated by the Auctioneers' Institute and in Scotland by a Committee of auctioneers, but in Ireland the Army authorities will buy cattle through their own agents, as the Army has for some time been possessed of an organisation for the direct 'purchase of agricultural produce in Ireland. The buyers have been instructed to purchase cattle in a condition to yield good lean meat, beyond that of ' stores ' three quarters fat but not ' prime.' The purchases will be effected at market rates, which are expected to rule below the maxima fixed by the Food Controller." (b) FROZEN AND OTHER IMPORTED MEAT.

It has been decided to continue, until further notice, the present scheme of wholesale distribution based on the distribution of 1915, and that for this purpose the first day of January shall be considered to be the commencement of a fresh period, no adjustment being made in this period as the result of any irregularity in the preceding period. 2. In all calculations the basis is the quantity supplied during the whole of 1915 and not during any particular portion of that ye?r. (a) SUGAR SUPPLY COMMISSION. For names of Commissioners, Secretary, &c., see footnote (b) to p. 477. 490 Sugar (Sales for Ireland Returns) Order, 1917. 3. British Refiners will continue to issue sugar only to their 1915 customers. The quantities to be issued will be proportioned to those of 1915, but the proportion will vary from time to time in accordance with the general proportion which all available supplies bear to the total quantity used or distributed in 1915. 4. The Sugar Commission will continue to distribute its im- ported sugar (and such quantities of British Kefined Sugar as it may have at its disposal) to its 1915 buyers according to the index number of each. This will give each buyer as his share of available supplies, the amount proportional to his total use or distribution in 1915 of all sugar other than British refined. 5. British West Indian Sugar. The sale of this and other sugar imported under licence will continue to be regulated by the West India Brokers' Committee, which will report all sales to the Sugar Commission. These will be taken into account when de- termining the quantities of Royal Commission sugar which should be allotted to the buyers. There will thus be no " free " sugar in 1917. 6. All wholesale dealers are instructed to distribute to their customers on the same principle ; that is to say, to let each of their customers of the year 1915 have his equivalent proportion of the supplies of all descriptions, and from all sources, which they have at their disposal. 7. Experience has shown during the past six months that for a wholesale dealer who has some thousands of customers, a dis- tribution on the basis of a fixed percentage of each customer's purchases in 1915 would be the most satisfactory method of procedure. It will be readily understood that it is quite impossible under present circumstances to determine in advance the exact per- centage of 1915 supplies which will be available, and the Com- mission accordingly recommends to all wholesale dealers who experience a difficulty in carrying out the instructions contained in this Memorandum : (a) Forthwith to agree with their 1915 customers as to the quantity delivered to each in 1915, which is the quan- tity upon which the distribution for 1917 should be based. This basis quantity should be the total of all descriptions obtained from all sources. (6) To distribute during January on a fixed low basis of, say, 50 per cent. ' (c) To distribute during February on the fixed percentage of all supplies actually received during January, and so on from month to month. This method will tend to obviate the difficulties arising from the adoption of too high a basis at the commencement, and the consequent inconvenience caused by subsequent adjustments. Sugar (Registration of Retailers} (Ireland] Order, 1917. 491 8. The Commission must impress upon all those engaged in carrying out the distribution the extreme importance of adhering rigidly to the rules laid down. Haphazard distribution by the Wholesalers leads to innumerable complications and hardships for others. Any departure from these rules will render the offending Wholesaler liable to be excluded from obtaining further supplies. 9. Copies of this Memorandum may be obtained through the same sources as those through which sugar is supplied. THE SUGAR (REGISTRATION OF RETAILERS) (IRELAND) ORDER, 1917. DATED OCTOBER 27, 1917. 1917.
