It is alleged that Ron Cromwell, on August 13th at Dowding Street, Kitty, unlawfully and maliciously set fire to a building, property of Hameshwar Sanchara.

It was also alleged that Cromwell on August 3rd at Dowding Street, Kitty, made use of threatening behaviour to John Lewis.

Cromwell denied both allegations.

The prosecutor made no objections to bail being granted but asked that it be a substantial amount due to the nature of the charges.
