to the circumstances surrounding the death of Wong Pak-kiu, alias) Wong Cheuk-lam, at the Central Magistracy yesterday afternoon. Mr. W. Schofield sat as Coron- er and the jury comprised Messrs. H. J. Fountain (Fore- man), F. E. Silva and W. E. Broadbridge.

Deceased met his death by n fall from the verandah of the third floor of No. 157, Des Voeux Road Central, on September 9.

In summing up the case Mr. Schofield said:--

"This case is clearly one in which a man was subjected to funlawful violence and thereby

reduced to such a state of fear] that in order to escape he took his own life.

"The law on this subject is laid down in the case of, The King v. Evans, in which a man best his wife, and she threw her- self out of the window and was killed.

"He was held answerable for the consequences as much though he had thrown her out himself. Frightening a person to death seems to be manslaugh- ter at the least.
