Jurors.
The following evidence was taken
Wilfrid Vincent Miller Koch (sworn) : Docter in charge of Govern-
ment Civil Hospital. On the 2nd November a Chinese male whose name was stated to be Chan Loi was admitted into the Civil Hos-
pital at 2 p.m. He was suffering from two wounds, one on each hip, which were stated to have been caused by a bullet.
He was
+
in a condition of shock and was apparently bleeding inwardly. An operation was required as I judged that the intestine was perforated. I operated on him within an hour and a half and found a portion of the small intestine perforated in seven places. I removed 14 inches of small intestine. He had been bleeding also. The wounds in the two hips were apparently one continuous wound
After the operation he caused by the traversing of a bullet. rallied a little. But his condition was hopeless from the first, and he died at 5.15 a.m. on the morning of the 3rd November. The cause of death was a bullet wound. I am of opinion that this bullet must have hit him directly before hitting any other object. It caught him on the left side and came out on the right side.
