J. Arm- strong for the defence,
The complainant on the sum- mons was Sanitary Inspector K. I Woon.
Mr. Armstrong: I am in doubt in this case whether this is a basement or not. It appears to
be a perfectly ordinary shop. There seems to be a lane running up one side of the premises.
Inspector Strange said the Board would agree to allow the premises to be used for habitation if cer- tain conditions were met. One of these conditions was the removal
of the cackleft on the floor and the existing partitions. The owner had been notified by letter to this effect.
TECHNICAL OFFENCE Mr. Armstrong remarked that he thought the offence was a de- finite technicality. His client took over ownership about six years ago and ever since then the premises had been unaltered, Suddenly, for some unexplained reason, the 9ardtary Board required him to remove the cockloft as a condition for allowing the premises to bei used.
י
Inspector Strange mentioned that the "cockloft interfered with the lighting. It was at the rear portion of the floor with a side door leading to the upper floor.
Mr. Armstrong said the front of the shop was all open. He cowd not agree with what Inspector Strange had sold about lighting, as the cockloft was at the back of the floor. He thought it was not at all fair to say that the lighting was inadequate. He saw the pre- mises that morning and they suck him as clean premises.
CONCEALED IN FIREWOOD Appearing for the prosecution Revenue Officer Brown stated that the oplum was found on board the junk. concealed in twenty-six bundles. The opium was wrapped in oil-cloth, and two parcels were found in each bundles of wood. Smal pieces of wood had been placed in the ends of the bundles, and this necessitated the careful handling of the bundles so that the small pieces of good would not fax out.
It was further stated by the prosecution that first defendant had purchased the vessel only nine or ten days ago, and the licence had not yet been trans- terred.
Becond defendant pleaded guil tv. while first defendant alleged that he was only the master of the junk and had no knowledge
that opium had been concealed in the firewood. He alleged that the other mati had obtained the carge for him to carry and for doing so be was to have been paid $2.
