Mr. B. S. Logan, Assistant Engiurer of the P.W.D., informed the Magistrate that in accordance with
superior authority the supply of water for build- ing purposes was cut off, due to the water shortage. At the defendant's house in the course cf construction the taps were re moved and the end of the pipe plugged. The defendant had been warned about this. On visiting the place later he found that the plug had been removeit and, recording to the meter, about 5,000 gallons of water had been used.
The defendant's excuse was that his workinen may have done it.
