At the Magistracy yesterday afternoon Mr. G. N. Orme, in thei capacity of Coroner, conducted an enquiry into the death of Kwan Siu-ki. the young son of Dr. Kwan - Sum-in, a local medical practitioner. The boy died on the 18th inst. as a result of injuries austained through being knockad down by a motor car owned by Mr. D. M. Biggar in Calne Road.
The following composed the jury: Messrs. C. G. Anderson, J. McCubbin and Ng King-tain.
Mr. M. K. Lọ watched the pro- ceedings on behalf of Dr. Kwan.
So Wai, a servant boy employed at No. 1, Caine Road, said that at 3.45 am. on June 13th, he was walking along Caine Road towards Wanchai when a motor car passed him from behind. When he reached Ka Chan restaurant hel (saw deceased jump into the street from the door of No. 40, Caine Road. Deceased had just gone paces from his house when the car knocked him down. In his opinion it was travelling at an fordinary speed.
Answering Mr. Lo, So Wai said! the car did not sound the horn at all. Deceased was on the road- side, close to his house, when the fear knocked him down.

Mr. Biggar, who was in the car at the time of the accident, said; |his car was driven on the morning! [of June 13th by his Chinese chauf-
feur, who had been in his employ, for about seven weeks. The car was travelling on a downward gradient when deceased jumped out from a blind doorway without. touching 'the steps of his door. The car was travelling at a speed not exceeding twelve miles hour. Witness had continually i warned his driver not to drive fast) in that locality on Caine Road. He was in the back seat of the car: and had a complete view of the ac- cident. The car was travelling inj the centre of the road, a little tol the left. When the deceased jumped out, apparently to cross [the road to get to his school oni the opposite side of his house. the driver sounded his born and) jammed the emergency brake. The car stopped at a distance of (not more than five feet from the spot of the tragedy. He could not say whether the boy slipped and) fell or the car actually knocked him down. The car slithered on after the chauffeur had applied This brake, The boy appeared i turn back to his house when the car approached, but it was too! late. He was practically on the middle of the road when the chauffeur put on his brake. This! particular portion of the road! was very narrow,
