In Good Condition. Sub-Inspector Saunders, whose duty is to hold an inspection once a month of all public vehicles. said he last examined the car which was a Chevrolet, scarcely a year old, on May 6th, when it was found to be in good condition and to have effective brakes.
This type of Chevrolet, said witness, had footbrakes operating on four wheels and a handbrake operating on the two back wheels only. They could hold the car on a gradient of one in four, but he had tested it over a gradient of one in six. The gradient of the private path leading up ΣΤΟΠΑ Sassoon Road to the house was
one in nine.
Witness examined the car after the smash, and found the car body to have been very badly damaged. The chassis was not very much damaged, considering the height which it had allen. In the posi- tion in which he found the car, good view was afforded of the braking system, and he found no thing to show that the brakes. were not in good working order before the smash. "I have been unable to pick out any likely ex- planation, of this accident, he added.

Witness agreed.
