There is a platform about 20 feet long and four and a half feet wide from which this ladder depends.

The prisoner'e defence was that he had never done business in this Colony, and had gone to Singapore at the age of 23, and was now 50 years old. He had come up from Singapore to see his mother, who was ill, and was returning to Singapore when arrested. He was not guilty of the charge; there must be some mistake.
