MR. CHARD IN THE STAND.

My H`.F. Chard, an employee of the Hang. kong Milling Company, said that Mr. Rennie worried about the financial affairs of the company. He was much worried, the witness said. In connection with the starting of the concern he (deceased) had a very long and heavy strain: Witness thought him extremely impulsive.
The Coroner Was he strong willed.? Witness Very strong, indeed.
THE WIDOW'S STATEMENT. Mia: Rennie, widow of the deceased; accom- panied by Mrs. G. C. C. Master, entered the Count by way of the Magistrate's cham- ber.
She was dressed in full mourning, but without 'the' widow's weed and looked pale and distressed. She at once entered the witness stand and began her evidence which was given, in a lone audible throughout the Couri, but at lines faltering through emotion from which it was evident the lady suffered. Mrs. Rennie, at intervals,
