MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE BREAKS DOWN
NO CASE FOR SESSIONS
The trial of Mr. Henry ("Kid") Marriott on a charge of manslaugh- ter was resumed yesterday after- noon at the Kowloon Magistracy before Mr. W. Schofield.
Accused, who was represented by Mr. F. C. Jenkin, instructed by Messrs. Deacons, was alleged to have fired at an Indian watchman, employed by the Kowloon Docks on the afternoon of November 10, thus |
causing his subsequent death.
Mr. L R. Andrewes, Assistant Crown Solicitor, prosecuted,
At the outset of the trial, Mr. Andrewes mentioned that there was no eye-witness to the incident, and all the evidence that the prosecution could produce was that an Indian sergeant watchman had heard the shot fired and on looking round, saw The accused dropped a revolver. wounded man had also said in Hindustani: "Mr. Marriott had shot

Medical Evidence Medical evidence given by the doctor in charge of the Kowloon Hospital to where the wounded Indian was at first removed, was to the effect that the wounded Indian had a perforated wound in his abdomen as well as a fractured forearm. There was no sign of internal haemorrhage, and he was therefore transferred to the Gov- arnment Civil Hospital where there is special accommodation for Indians.

Nanking, Yesterday.:
Farther evidence was then taken from the Police Armourer who testified as to the condition of the revolver. It was a .88 and was in good working condition.
The Indian sergeant watchman in his evidence corroborated what Mr. Andrewes had said in his opening statement. This closed the case for the prosecution.
Submission of Defence Without calling upon the defence; Mr. Jenkin submitted that there was no evidence to justify the accused being committed to stand his trial at the higher tribunal. Whatever testimony had been given on behalf of the prosecution, they would have to confine themselves to that and not to speculate on evidence that might be forthcoming.
