CORONER'S INQUIRY INTO THE
· DEATH OF CAPTAIN LEE. A
The adjourned inquiry into the death of Capi- E. Lee, of the steamship Yangisse was resumed at the Magistracy at two o'clock this afternoon before Mr. H. E. Wodehouse (Coroner) and a jury. Mr. J. J. Francis, instructed by Mr. M. J. D. Stephens (of Messrs. Stephens and Holmes), was again present, watching the pro- ceedings on behalf of Dr. Fisher,
The Coroner in opening the inquiry' said Are we now in a position to go on, Mr. Francis ?
Mr. Francis believe so, Sir.
..
The learned barrister then addressed the Coroner, and laid his views before that official as to the proper mode of conducting the inquiry. He contended that if he were not allowed to cross- examine Dr. Clouth, would be unfair towards | Dr. Fisher, and concluded a rather mixed-up harangue, in which a great deal was said about death from natural causes, suicide, manslaughter and other cheerful themes, by observing that his application to cross-examine Dr. Clouth was entirely in the Coroner's discretion.

Witness had $155 in bank notes on his person, and on being invited by his newly found clansman to visit his house, they went together to No. 5 Kwong Yune Street East. On getting up to the first floor of the house, witness went to a sitting room, where a man was enjoying the opium pipe.

proceedings considerable latitude had been allow- ed his (Dr. Fisher's) counsel, and His Worship found at the greater amount of latitude he per- mitted the more was it taken advantage of; in fact, the learned counsel had gone so far that an appeal to the Supreme Court had been made against the Coroner's ruling in this case. He had however decided that counsel would not be permitted to cross-examine witnesses directly or independently, and any interruptions whilst the proceedings were going on would not be tole, rated. Dr. Fisher would, however, have a full opportunity of stating his views, and if he so de sired, could call witnesses in support of the same. As Coroner he (Mr. Wodehouse) was bound to say that during the investigation Mr.. Francis had made use of language far from respectful, even going so far as to say that his (the Coroner's) mode of conducting the inquiry was "amonstrovs abuse of justice," Such opprobrious and dis- respectful terms he could not permit any person to apply to him in his official position as Coroner. Under the circumstances it was not pleasant to take strong steps against those with whom your daily duties bring you constantly in contact, but he, as Coroner, must distinctly warn Dr. Fisher that on any repetition of the improper and disrespectful demeanour previously shown towards himself by the Doctor's counsel, he would at once cease to recognise him (Mr. Francis) as such, His Worship would now adjourn the inquiry for 15 minutes to give Dr. Fisher an op portunity of conveying through his solicitor to his counsel the Coroner's views on this matter, and would not permit any observations to be inade on the decision he had arrived at.
Mr. Francis rose and commenced making a protest, when the Coroner, without paying the slightest beed to the leamed barrister, uncere- moniously left the Court.
On the return of the Coroner, Mr. Francis rose and said he wished to apologise.
His Worship! want no observations. Mr. Francis, after obtaining a hearing, stated that he must apologise for the warm expressions he had used towards his Worship, which were unjustifiable from him as a barrister to Mr. Wodehouse as Coroner.
His Worship madeno reply to this apology and mmediately called on Dr. Warry, Superintend.
of the Government Civil Hospital." Dr. Wharry stated that he was a doctor of medicine, and assisted at the post mortem ex- amination held on the body of Captain Lee. In answer to the Coroner if he could describe the state of deceased's lungs, Dr. Wharry said that the upper part of the lungs to the extent of about one half was solid, but the lower half was sprink- led with tubercules and very much congested. At the apex of each lung was some excavation, that to say, there was a small cavity. In onc if not both, the lungs were adherent to the chest walls. Generally speaking the lungs were very much diseased; extensively diseased with tubercules and much congested in the lower part. The disease must have been of consider able standing; of not less than six months, and perhaps of several years. The heart was a fairly good one; there was some slight stiffening of the valver and traces of disease in the aorta valves, and it was slightly fatty, but the muscular tissues In other respects the heart was

that the tramways would prove a nuisance, and, notwithstanding that the previous faulty method of laying the track was disclaimed, by the owners of private carriages on the supposition that the rails would injure their vehicles. Moreover, the space occupied by the line was spoken of as if it were to be permanently monopolised by the cars. At last, however, the public mind became so thoroughly convinced of the advantages of pro- perly constructed tramways, that, in spite of the most strenuous opposition both in and out of parliament, the first metropolitan lines were sanctioned in 1869.
Witness being interrogatel by the Magistrate said:-1 am sure the defendant is the man who took me to Kwong Yune Street and gave me the cup of tea which stupified une. I could recognise the other man who was in the sitting room if I saw him.

I did not point him out to the Police yesterday, nor did I point out any one at all to the constable.

While they were in the street the second defendant came up and ke asked complainant is this the man who smoked opium? Complainant answered yes-and said to the second defendant "If you give me back my money I will not charge you."

On going went to a house in Queen's Road Central, being first floor of the house they found four men there.

Tramways have opened out a new field for enterprise, and, if established on proper condi- tions, afford a safe and remunerative return for capital.
When first commenced, the works of a tram- way are much sooner remunerative than are those of a railway, and there is not so much room for uncertainty in the amount of expenditure either for works or for purchase of property. Moreover, un increasing traffic does not augment so largely, the proportionate expenditure for maintenance as in railways, because the wear upon the permanent way and street paving is determined not by the number of tramcars which pass, but by ordinary, yehicles; and the greater the cartraffic the greater will be the share of advantage which the tramway proprietors will obtain from an expenditure for maintenance which must in any case be incurred.

Potential profits are limited in the case of tram- ways to the term of the concession (in England generally only 21 years) for it can hardly be doubted that where a tramway undertaking pays divi- denda high enough to give a more than par value to the shares, the public, as represented by the municipal authorities, will, when the time for THE FOURTH SUBSCRIPTION Der Tadesgrul der Legion............ renewing the lease arrives, claim to participate in the profits, either by a reduction in the tariff of fares or by an increased rent for the use of the 'rond,
If, however, the line has paid no 'more than a nominal rate of dividend, the proprietors will be left to work it as before. Such conditions give: a one-sided aspect to the transaction as between the town and tramway proprietors, which doubt- less does much to limit the value of the invest- ment in the estimation of capitalists.
