The warrant card's express statement that the officer was authorized by the Authority to carry out work under the Hotel and Guesthouse Ordinance constituted sufficient "authorization in writing" for s.18 purposes; the magistrate properly found there was no express requirement by the appellant for production of written authorization or ID at the time; the procedural step of exhibiting a photocopy did not amount to a material irregularity warranting interference. Accordingly the conviction was affirmed.
