She took samples from another farm after the raid, and found 9 out'of 15 cows gave milk under standard. “Individual analysis of cpws proves that, like human beings, some are more affected than others by strange, happenings,’; said .witness,, “ Cows,',after--the raid.,.Were. and jumpy.” . ‘ , -‘- w Defending counsel drew the analogy of a nursing mother being upset by fright, when it was general knowledge that the quality of the child’s food suffered.
