away I could not obtain the men as quickly as would be on any other

day. I got to Station Street and found there had been a collapse

of 7 and 9 Upper Station Street. They are adjoining houses. These

houses are 3 storied Chinese tenement houses built of blue bricks

and very old. Roughly they are about 40 years old. The whole of the

houses of that block are of the same age. There are about 10 or 11

houses. There are 7 houses in this block facing Upper Station

Street and these two houses which collapsed are in the centre of

the terrace which faced Upper Station Street. This is a model of

the two houses which collapsed (marked 1). (Witness describes to

the jury the buildings by referring to model 1. Witness shows how

ne found the houses after the collapse.) The whole of the front

of No. 9 had fallen out and the upper two thirds of lio. 7. It

resulted in a mass of debris. The party wall had collapsed practic-.

-ally completely leaving about 8 feet at the bottom out of 40 feet

and leaving a portion of the back which mad not fallen. The party

wall was reduced to a mass of broken bricks and dust. The roof had

fallen in from the middle. The roofs consisted of Chinese fir

poles and Chinese tiles. This would be a comparatively light roof.

The roof timbers were generally sound. There were signs of white

ants and of decay, but quite insufficient to account for the

collapse. The collapse of the party wall caused the roofs to fall.

The party wall was built of blue bricks but many of those bricks

were broken when the party wall was built. They were built in

mortar. The mortar was of very poor quality. The whole of the

structure of that wall was very inferior indeed. In fact the

centre of the wall consisted almost entirely of small bricks. There

is no record in the Public Works Department when the houses were

built or by whom. The ti .ckness of the wall was generally 14 inches.

This one particular wall which had collapsed in the party wall was

built originally of a thickness of 14 inches but at

some date

subsequent to the erection some one had built a "skin" on the

Northern side of the party wall and to the neight of one story

only. The "skin" was 44 inches in thickness and it was almost
