Nathy Khan (declared), I.P.C.794: I remember the riot on
the 2nd November. I came up and saw many stones being thrown
at the police. My rifle was handed to P.C.27 and two rounds
of ammunition. He handed it to a sailor possibly Wright.
He fired the shots. If he had not fired, we should have
all been killed. He fired high. I only saw two shots fired.
I did not see what he hit. I did not see any shots fired
from the crowd. They only threw stones.

Thomas Hedge, A.P.S.114, (sworn) : About 1.30 p.m. on the
2nd I was on duty in the Queen's Road. Sergeant Cooper came
up to me and asked me for assistance in Queen's Road West.
He said he could not contest the mob. I took two Indian Po-
lice constables and Sergeant Cooper back with me. Outside
Land We Live In I saw E.P.C. 27, with a revolver in his right
hand. I saw two Indian Police constables with carbines at
& ready position. I saw another whom I cannot identify with
the carbine ----- at the redy. I gave the order to un-
load. The crowd then rushed the police. I put the crowd
back with two Indian Police constables with a haton. I then
saw a man lying under the verandah on the right hand side of Queen's Road about 50 yards from Morrison Street. I went
to him. I found he had been shot. The sailors had gone.
Reinforcements came and cleared the mob. I took deceased
to Government Civil Hospital. I should not have fired my-
self on the charge of the mob.
