Mr. Hodgson went on to say that he was actually pleading guilty, but he mentioned the circumstances so that his Worship might take them into consideration when considering. the question of a fine.

Inspector, Bradley, for the pro- secution, stated that he visited tho pinco at the expiration of the 48 hours but found several things still untouched since ho last saw it. In regard to Mr. Hodgson's protent regarding the brevity of the notice, Inspector Bradley said that he had previously notified Mr. E. D. Shank, explaining what was want- ed. He then visited the place and found nothing had been done and subsequently he communicated with Mr. C. L. Shank by telephone, but as nothing was done, notice was arved for the work to be carried out in 48 hours,

It was also stated that the defend- ants had recently been fined $50 on each of eix, summonses brought against them for similar offences.

The Magistrate, Mr. E. H. Williams, indicated that he would fine the defendants 850 on each of the seven summonses. Mr. Hodgson then plended that the notice given his clients was very short.
