No motive could be found in the boy's action except as he himself stated that of a sudden fit of temper. Mr. Hunter went on to say that when he came home at oout 6.30 in the evening on open-
the door he saw some spots of blood in the hall. Thinking the dog must have had a fight he went into the living room and there found pools of blood on the door, and the chairs bunched up together.
Mr. Hunter: I then whistled à peculiar call which my wife al- ways answers and heard a moan from the bathroom. On rushing inte the bathroom I found Mrs. Hunter wedged in between the blood streaming from a cut in her
wall and the washistand with
cheek.
On further examination Mr. ffunter found three other cuts on her arm. Ripping her sleeve up with his penknife he bandaged it up to the best of his ability.

Mr. Kwang then questioned Mr. Hunter regarding the defendant's behaviour previous to the assault: Has the defendant showed any change in his demeanour or be trayed any Eign of annoyance with anyone or looked 'depressed?
Mr. Hunter: At half past one when I left the house he seemed as bright and cheerful as he al- ways was.
"On being" asked as to whether the defendant had at all changed since the day of assault. ME Hunter said that he had decided- ly" done 80. "From my own experience of the Orient I should say by the look in his eyes and the droop of his mouth that he had undergone a severe mental strain."
