One was reported to contain 45 parts of Chlorine per 100,000
of the Flock. This sample was found to be part of the contents
of a bed sent to the manufacturers for remake. No action was
taken.
One sample contained 133.5 parts of Chlorine per 100,000
parts of the Flock, and the other sample contained 160.2 parts of
Chlorine per 100,000 parts of the Flock. These samples were
taken from the contents of beds which had been sent to the manufacturers
for remake, but as they were to have new covers they
were considered to be new beds, having- regard to the definition
given by the Judge in the case of Guildford Corporation
v. Brown, 31 T.L.R. 92. The case came into Court, but
unfortunately broke down, as the Analyst admitted he did not take
the temperature of the water in which the Flock was washed. A
subsequent sample taken at the same factory proved to be clean
Flock.
