Prescott did the work himself and the Sitter had no right of rejection. No assistants were involved. It had been submitted that payment was for the labour and not for the goods sold, that the photographs were not chattels kept or offered, for sale, that the sale was made before the photographs were taken, and that the premises ■ . could not be defined as _ a shop. The Judge reversed the Magistrate's finding and. held that the photographs were chattels and that the premises constituted a shop.
