The magistrate could not lawfully limit the statutory powers of seizure and detention conferred by section 122(1)(b); therefore the seizure and detention of the three production machines was not unlawful on the sole ground argued. The question whether the premises were sealed under a power not in Cap.528 remains unresolved and must be determined after proper pleading; application for re-amendment and further hearing adjourned accordingly.
