The conviction was unsafe and must be quashed because the charge lacked necessary particulars and a crucial item alleged to produce the incriminating fumes (the paper strip) was not examined by the Government Chemist; only a matchbox was sent and the chemist's certificate referred only to that exhibit, leaving the prosecution without proof of the charged act.
