Reasons for Judgment

The Chief Justice — This is an appeal as of right on a question of law.
The dissenting judge advanced the view that only corroboration of some criminal particular of the offence offered the necessary assurance for the issuance of the warrant. This is the question of law that brings the appeal before us. On this issue, we agree with the test adopted by the majority.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
