Summons withdrawn. Note: Solicitor
for the defendant was prepared to
prove that the milk from which the
sample was taken on August 28th,
was supplied to us as it came from
the cows; and was also prepared to
prove that the cows in question gave
very poor milk. The Magistrate
thereupon made the suggestion that
if the Council were not in a position
to refute these statements, the summons
had better be withdrawn
