32 of 1902, sec. 46.

A quantity of liquor was deposited in an unoccupied
house which had never been occupied by a white
person, but was daily frequented by coloured persons
and which was situated in a native location, where
no white person was allowed to live. Held (CURLEWIS, J, dissentiente) that such deposit raised the
presumption that the liquor was intended to be
placed under the control of the native frequenters of
the house, and was sufficient unless rebutted to
justfy a conviction under sec. 46 of Ordinance 32 of
