What does Mr.King đe. He gete into the side car of a motor cycle

and all the way along he shouts to this mob. telling them to ge

back, that they could not precsed. He actually saw his own servant

and spoke to him in English and Chinese. Then we get to what I

call the crucial situation when Mr.King, Inspecter Pitt and Sergeant

Derling are faced with this assembly on the Taipe Road. What did

Mr King do? He held up the neb with a rovelver in his hand, an indication that force would be used if necessary. He harangued the

arøvd for something like 10 minutes, telling them to go back. We

know the an wariwhat the ories ware. "We would sooner die here than

ge back". The Police were absolutely defied and their orders placed

at naught. Nr.King took the extra precaution of telling the neb

that unless they dispersed they would be fired at. They knew the

consequences they wore taking if they proceeded with their purpose.

We could carry it a good deel further yet. Before the mob

assembled at the Peing theatre we knew that some of the men wero

teld by their own masters that they would be stepped, and I think

it a fair inference that every member of that assembly knew that

they were breaking the law and would be stopped. There is another

peint en a question of infærance. When the 50 seldiers who had been

pestod at Mr.MaMurray's house merched back at 4 o'clock in the

morning they probably passed near the Fe Hing theatre. Do you mean

to say that everyone in that assembly did not know that military

precautions were being taken to stop them. I think it is a fair

inference that this assembly started out with the idea and knowledge

that there would be a show of military faros for stepping them. For

what other rensen were 50 soldiers placed at Mr.HoMurray's house

at the junction of the two reads. Then we have the statenonts of the

mob themselves. To have had it in evidence what they shouted out.

The answers clearly showed that the meb knew they were going to

ba stepped and that every endeavour would be made to stop them.

I cannot help thinking that this inquiry will have no difficulty
