It was that of a Chinese male adult. The de- ceased was scalded over the head, a greator part of the body and extremities. He died of the shock from the scalding.
Mr Brereton appeared for the prosecu tion.
Mr Kingsmill, instructed by Mr Dennys, appeared for the defence of Mr Duncan, and Mr Handley, instructed by Mr Holmes, for Mr Rozario.

Mr. Brereton contended that the press copy in the witness' possession was the witness' original. Finally it was decided to postpone the examination of Mr Degenser on this point till some other time.

The witness was not cross-examined. Mr Brereton proposed to vali two other witnesses who were in the employ of the Dock.
Mr Kingsmill applied that the case should be adjourned. He was acting for the Attorney General during his absence, and he must file the informations of the Criminal Sessious to-day. He was not asking the adjournment for his own convenience, but for the public service.
Mr Brereton would like to consult the convenience of Mr Kingsmill if he could, But he though it would be prejudicial to the Company to have the case postponed at this juncture, Having regard to the interest of bis client he could not consent to post ponement now, however much he might he inclined to oblige Mr Kingsmill,
