The defendants were flu Wol- hant and Leo Che-ining.

Mr J. R. MeAusland, of the Waterworks Department, wald he visited the hatises and found an extra rubber hose attached to the main top leading to receptacles on the roof. Water was, thus drawn for watering the flowers and plants. The entire two roofs of Nos, 3 and 4 were used as gordens.

Mr McAusland asked for a serious view to be taken because of the water shortage in the Colony at present.

Remarking that it was defendants' first offence, Mr Lo imposed

nominal fine of $25 each, but he warned that the maximum penally would be imposed in future.
