Hughes appeared for. the defendant. The sample was taken on the morning of February 20th by Sergeant Phil- lips. and the anplyst's certificate showed the above result.—Mr. Hughes asked that the certificate in the case of Anne Jenkins, whose milk had been proved to be quite- pure, should be put in. Part of his case was that the milk sold by the defendant in this case, a sample rJIi: which was taken by Sergeant Phillips, formed n portion of the milk sold to Mrs. Jenkins, and retailed by her within fifteen minutes.— Superintendent Phillips objected to the- product-ion of the certificate, on the ground that it had nothing to do with this case.—The Bench, however, ruled that Mr Hughes was entitled to have the certin- cate produced.—Defendant was then called He said he had thirteen cows, and on Feb- ruary 20th he had nine cows in milk, His son and he did all the milking, and the milk was afterwards brought to his shop in Chalybeate-street, where it was put in three large cans.
