Also in the boat was found a jacket which the accused was seen wearing when he went ashore. It was found in the sam- pan in two pieces, the alcove being torn from the rest of the jacket. From that it would appear that some time or other during the oc currence there must have been a severe fight on the sampan,
His Lordship went on to re count how the prisoner disappeared and how later he was handed over to the Hongkong. Police when he made a statement implicating a man named Wang Yau.

It might be that there wra nomn explanation of the outbreak which the witness had not described. If from his demeanour the jury had reason to suspect that the boy was suppressing part of his story, then they might find some reason to doubt whether the blow was struck by the accused or not.

The Law of Insanity. Dealing with the question of in- sanity His Lordship said that If they found the man Insane that did not infer that he was guilty. The proper verdict would be guilty but insane in that event. The English law took a common nense view with regard to insanity. One of the fundamental points in considering any case was that the accused person was supposed to be sane until the contrary was proved. Therefore, It wa not for the Crown to show that a man was sane. It was for counsel for the prisoner to show he was insane. The jury had to consider whether, on all the facts, the defence had shown that the prisoner wan Inuone.
If it was a fact that the attack was made without warning or motive the defence could rely on that. They could also rely on the medical evidence. There was no history regarding the prisoner but Dr. Cannon had given the resulta of his observation. The wuestion now was "Is the man Insane or not. Has he been shown to be insan or not."
The question, however, was not whether he was generally insane but whether he was insane at the time of the crime if he did commit it Insane persona were excused by the law if their insanity was such that owing to mental disease | they did not know either the nature of their act, know that they were doing it, or if they knew what they were doing did not know they were doing a wrong thing. The defence had to show that the man did not now he was killing the girl or that realising he was killing the

There was no doubt that the prisoner was a man of low grade mentality. One thing was clear, and that was that if the condition of that boat was his arrangement in order to escape detection then It was a poor arrangement. He left his coat and he cleaned a knife and left it to be found. It was
