(¶a) The defendant's Solicitor called upon the Inspector to produce the third portion of the sample, which he was unable to do, as when he went to the cupboard at the office where the samples were kept, on the 18th December, he found it had gone. Upon the application of Council's Solicitor the case was adjourned for 14 days, for further search to be made. On the 1st January, upon the application of Council's Solicitor, the summons was adjourned sine die, as there was a case pending in the Divisional Court, where the question was raised whether it was necessary to produce on the hearing of a summons the portion of sample retained by Inspector. † Same sample.
