Then, under the Ordinance, the officer was required first to produce his badge of office, and then declare his office. Taylor did not comply with that. He described himself de Preventive Officer, a designation for which he searched in vain in the whole of the Ordinance.
Under the Ordinance a senior revenue officer was empowered to search in a case like that and although the letters S.RO were prefixed to Mr. Listerman's name in one of the documents he was entitled to search only in a boaded warehouse.
His Worship interposed, remarking that he did not agree with Mr. Carver Although "Mr. Taylor did not produce his badge or document, he claimed to be an officer entitled under the Ordinance, and substantiated the position by Mr. Listerman's badge and his papers de- signating him as an S.R.O.
At this stage his Worship also asked whether some form of apology could not be tendered by the defence in settlement
of the matter.
The D.P.P. said he had no objection to this course, but that it was the desire of the Crown that the principle underlying "the prosecution should be upheld.
