Mr. Wright replied that he must submit that the owner registered in the Land Office should be the person to be fined. The owner was the person holding the premises direct from the Crown.A
After hearing the evidence bearing out Mr. Wright's statement, the defendant said that he was originally the owner of Nos. 55,67 and 59, but the latter house was let to one Lum Heyin about three months before the fire.

He was still the owner of No. 50, and after the fire he gave orders to reconstruct the premises, and it was not till then that he discovered the fire ascapes bad been removed by the whom he let the person to premiecs.
His Worship said that he was responsible for the removal of the escapes as he was the owner, and the defendant replied that he was not aware that they had been removed.
