Baron Dowse and Mr. Justice Andrews, judgment was given in two oama stated for fhe opinion of the Court by the magisidas at Enniskillen Petty Sesaim, oonsequent on their convioaon plies to the wmkhome butteimilk md milk addbrakd wit32 water, The defendants w m oonhctorB, d when the milk waB delivered at the workhouse the maater Cook a lamplo lo whioh he divided into threo P&, one of whioh he returned, another he gave to defendant’s messenger, and the third he enolorred in box, with the name Noble 33IEard upon it, and sent it by rail to Dr.Umeron, for analysis, On Dr. Cameron’s oertifmh the magishatea were satisfied that the milk waa adnlterstsd, and theyoanaequently convicted the defendant. Two objmtions were taken by a. Irwin, solidtor for the defendanbibst, that the sample forwarded to Dr. Cameron ought to have been sent by registered letter, as he reaid& more than two miles distant, and therefore thsremas not snfmient evidence to satisfy the magistrata that the mills Ebnalysed ww fhat delivered by theddendant ; and somnd, that the delivery waa complete, and fie milk had passed oat of the defendmt’s oonbrol. Both objeotions were overruled by the mq$stratcs Bmon Dowse, in delivering judgment, did not attaah muoh weight to the objeotions raised at i?w Ses- &nB, and said MI!.E&,nho bad argued the case with ability, had raked five points here. Firat, that them was no purchase at dll under the stfbtuh. If that was true the whole juriedictioa failed. A second con- tention wm that seotion 14 of the Act of 1876 governed the cam oompletdy, clsd that proper notioe of tlho hiention to analyae was not given as prescribed by that motion, and it waa a, conditioupreceilent to 8110- CMS in prosecution. !Rm other points were 8s to the identity of the sample, and that the Board of Gsnrtrdiasls could not maintain the prosecution aa being a, Corporation and not a person. But tho mniu mil central point in the case was whether the prooeedings were governed in an esmtid degreo by seation 14 ; because, if so, it Todd be m c d t to Sag that E.Hart’s argRm0nt WSLI not right. The way he argument was need was by travedng all the poi& he made. In his (the learned judge’s) opinion the judge relid on for the defendant in the oase of Pmson Q). the Birmingham Dairy b p a n y ought not to be followed. He a& that the motion waa not confmed to pub& ofiers, but refaxed fo every purchnser who pumb8seZ with the infention to andym ; but he did not oonsider that the section governed %he e n b A& of ‘parliament. & man pxunbmed as &e of food in aonhvention of section 6, ho could within a reasonable t h o have it andpd. The other points made he overrnIed, and held th& fhe magistraterr’ decision wm right, and ought to be abed with costs. Mr. Juetico androws oonmed.
