Mr. A. E. Wright, of the Public Works Department, stated that no precautions had been taken to prevent a slide. The earth on the whole was good. The upper portion ought to have been cut back and the boulder shored.

Examined by one of the jurors Mr. Wright said that if a boulder stood out in a cutting it was customary in Hongkong to leave it alone in the belief that it was safe. This practice was dangerous.
