Mr. FitzHenry stated that some- time ago Rome drums of gasolene were found in Queen's Road West, Wednesday 2 and this led the authorities on a line of investigation to find out where they came from. On De- Bury 1 cember 18, he himself visited de- fendant's premises at Laichikok and in the licensed part of the godown he found 1,400 cases of kerosene. Everybody there at the Aberdeen & time denied that there was any more on the premises, but going to another part of the building, he found large quantitios of gasolene and kerosene on the ground. first and second floors.

The place was absolutely sodden with oil,, which was leaking from the building.

Mr. Fitzlienry agreed that 'de- fondant had hud bad luck in regard to his stock. He had bought it from the Pan Pacific Oll Company, and after he had taken delivery, the Canton Government increased its tax, with the result that he found it impossible to get rid of his stock. Since taking delivery, defendant had lost nearly 1,000 tina through leakage alone.

"CAN'T GIVE IT AWAY". Mr. Kemble said he agreed with Mr. Fitzllenry's remarks, adding that his client did not know what to do with the stock. He had tried to sell the stock as cheaply as he could, but could find no buyers, und "he can't just give it away."
