Description | Upon the petition given on 27 July 1904 by İlyas Bin İsa Nablusi, a subject of the Ottoman State The petitioner said that five batman, five nügi, two sülüs of one tin of plain oil he had purchased from Gattar Al Zahravi (?), for 170 piasters at a rate of dâric-i bender, was mixed, and requested a control of this oil and due actions to be taken in respect thereof. In the report given by the municipal doctor, it was declared that the analysis revealed that said plain oil was mixed with suet. In the fourth article of the regulation later published for the purpose of ensuring the purity of plain oil produced domestically, it is clearly stated that the oil of tradesmen and merchants doing a retail business by selling mixed oil shall be confiscated, and that a fine of 1 five-piaster piece to 5 five piaster pieces shall be taken from them. In accordance with the regulation, the said oil has thus been confiscated and is now being colored in such a way as to be rendered inedible and unsellable; due actions are also being taken to collect the necessary penalty from Gattar; however, justice also requires that 170 piasters, which is the cost of the said oil, be collected from Gattar and submitted to the petitioner. It is thus appropriate to relegate the matter to the office of Police Chief Inspector to take due actions in respect thereof. The 14th of Tammûz (1)320 (27th of July 1904) |
