*The defendants relied on a warranty, but, having mired the milk supplied to them by two farmers together, the Magistrate was against them on the question of the warranty; the defendants' solicitors then raised the point that milk in the course of heating necessarily lost some of its fat and that, there being no standard for warm milk, the Sale of Milk Regulations did not apply, but their witnesses admitted that no change would occur if the milk was not heated above 160° F.; the Magistrate was against them on this point also, finding that warm milk as supplied was not above 160°. | |||||
