THE CHINA MAIL, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1946.

By Fall Off 'Bus

A verdict of accidental death was returned at Kowloon Court yesterday when an inquiry was held into the circum- stances surrounding a fatal accident that occurred in Laichikok Road on the night of April 15.-

An 18-year-old-cook-boy, Wong Chi-cuni, of 142, Fa Yuon Street, 3rd floor, had been fatally injur ed when he fell off a moving bus. Evidence was given by a Kowloon Motor Bus Company inspector that he had advised the youth who was hanging on to the railing at the exit-stepa, to get inside the bus as it was turning round at the terminus. Replying to a question from sub-Insp. W. H. Cowie, Polleo Traffic Officer, the bus inspec- tor, Mak Chuk, said that it was a usual occurrence that boys would hang on to the ralling at freu the exist-steps to take a ride.

He had called to the youth, witness stated, to get into bus which was not crowded. The youth had not followed his in struction. He had then felt the rear of the bus going over some. thing and had rung the emer gency bell. It was found that

the rear wheels of the bus had gone over the deceased.

The accident had occurred at shuipo terminus coat
