The matshed was just below the Victoria British School and if an explosion had occurred it must have destroyed the building.

The Magistrate told the defendant that his license allowed him to keep 150 lbs. of dynamite in his magazine. Instead of that, he had kept it in a matshed and it an explosion had occurred all his workmen and the pupils of the British School would have been blown to bits.
