CRIMINAL SESSIONS.
FATAL QUARREL OVER CLOGS
There stood his trial, on a charge of manslaughter, at the Criminal Sessions to-day, a coolie named Wong Lam, who was accused of causing the death of another coolie called Ab Po. He pleaded not guilty.
The jury was-Mears. A. W. Bliss (foreman) BDF Beith, E. F. Scall, W. Gardiner, J. C. M. Botelho, C. E Tavares, and J. D. Aredo. 4
The Crown Solicitor, Mr. G. E Wakeman, said that on June 25th last there was a quarrel between the accused and the deceased over a pair of olage at Aberdeen. They fought until they were separated by a man named Li Sing and immediately afterwards the doceased expired: Medical evidence testifed to fall down and in a very short time the fact that deceased died of a ruptured spleed. Accused was arrested on the hill side after a report had been made to the Police.
Dr. H. MacFarland gave evidence as to the case of death and in diewar to Mr. Justice Gompertz said a ruptured spleen had been known to have been caused by nothing at all Deceased had a bruise over the spleen which he thought might have been caused by a bamboo or a clog It was possible that deceased would have suffered the same injury had he turned sharply and slipped down. Deceased was more likely to have been struck. Fik spleen was enlarged.
Evidence describing the fight and the collapse of the accused was then taken.
The jury by a majority of 6 to 2 found the prisoner not guilty and be was discharged.TA
