If a fire occurred there at certain tides, it would be impossible for the fre Coats to combat the menace, re- suiting in a major conflagration on the water front. The bay, was congested at present.
He concluded by saying that besides the fine imposed on the defendant, he would also ask for the conoscation of the kerosene,
