On 20th January, on receipt of instructions, he forwarded the sample which he had retained to Somerset House, a certificate for which he now produced. Mr. Brown submitted that with regard to the boracic acid the amount contained in. the sample was so small that it would be perfectly useless as a preservative, and, therefore, the probability was that it Was due to traces of the acid concealed in the bottle used by the. Inspector.
