The appeal is dismissed because the magistrate was entitled and bound to accept the chemist's certificate in the absence of any evidence that it had not been signed by the proper person at the time, and the post-trial amendment redefining the authorised 'Government Chemist' is a technicality that does not justify quashing a conviction supported by credible evidence.
