Whether that irregularity had much to do with the case now before them was another question; but in that plan, at the back of houses No. 27 to 33, Centro Street, was shown a covered pasinpo-way

5d, the officer in the P.W.D. who received the notice and the plan would pro- bably have gone down to the spot and would have seen that the dwelling-house No 53, First Street was going to be pulled down, and ho would have seen that the palling down of No. 68 must more or less affect No. 5, and probably he would have required contain procautions to be taken with reference to No, b. Thu plau, as bo bad put it to them, threw the offer off

altogether. It was perfectly true. Cbat was a line on the eastern side of the Lane which one would tesaonably, looking at the plan, suppose to be a house. That was No. 56. Bat there was nothing whatever to suggest that No. 18 was a honen or was inhabited, In one place it was called a cerezd passage wey and in another it was called a

passage-way, to be turned into a lane, The wording of the Ordinance, with reference to these plans, Section 69, Ordinaupo 15 of 1880, was as follows:-suoli, plans shall show the position and levels of the surrounding grounds and battlings. Now, he thought the jury would be told by the officer of the .W.D. that he did not cong der that the plan showed the surrounding ground and buildings. It should have shown No. 68, First Street. After that plan was sent in, certain requirements wera re- quiret, chiefly, he believed, with referance to the sanitary laws by the Medical Officer of Health; bus, ut may rate, finally the notice and plan were acknowledged by the DP.W. or officer representing him. Upon the 3rd June, that was to say, while these plans were still mader consideration by the DFW in answer to application, a parimit was granted to Tik Kes, contractor, to greet a scaffolding and hoarding on the Crown let adjoining Nos. 27 to 41, centre treet. That pormit having been grunted, he thought the jary might reasonably esaciuds, and no thought it would be shown, that Tas Keo then proceeded to pall down those old houses standing in Centre Street. The houses, he believed, had bean olosed by the Sanitary Board, and the owner appeared to here come to some arrangement with the lessee, that be would pull down and rebuild thema homes, no rent being charged while they were being pulled down and rebuilt. At any rate somewhore

the wall on the other side of No. 55, really was the western wall of No. 66, to the wind kid weather. On 99th July, at eleven o'clock in the morning, the de- ceased, Wong Fook, was in the kitchen on the Arst floor of No. 56. He had a basin or some thing of that bind it his hand, and was going to the water tep to fill it with water. The cook of No. 58 was she in the kitchen. Suddenly. without any staring of any sort, the kitchen wall of No. 56 fail outgards, and the second oor kitchen fell down and caught this man Wong Fook and also the cook in the debris, The cook was, fortunately taken out alive, and not seriously hurt, though very much frighten- ed and shaken; Wong took was killed. He did not die immediately; he was taken out alive and removed to the Government Livil Hospital, where he was att uded to by Dr, Lang, who would tell the jury that the man was suffering from an injury to his spino, and that on the following moraingle diet. He did not think that the jury would have any doubt whatever en to the cause of death: that this man died from the second-Hoor kitchen and a portion of this wall falling upon him; but it was not sufficient for them to find that he died through being hit by this well. They had to go into the whole question and find out what caued this wall to fall, and if in the course of that cajary they cames to the conclusion that anybody ind onlpably neglected his duty, it would be for them to find a verdict against that person. .

Dr. E. A. R.Ronald, assistant superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, was the first witness. Ho deposed that Wong Fock was admitted to the Hospital on 20th July. On arrivel the man was in state of collapse from injuries received. Witness first saw him in the ward. The only external wounds on his body were a few suratches. He was able to speak, but very feebly. He died at 65 a. on 30th Jaly A post-mortem examination showed that death was due to fracture of the spinal cord, Theas injuried were quite consistent with a heavy weight having fallen on his body,

Chau Kai, sheomaker stated that on 29th July he was living on the first floor of 50, First Street. On the morning of that day three folis were living there also. The deceased man Wong Fook was bis tenant About 11 o'clock

This roport is incorrect. What actually took place is as follows:-Mr. Looke, after first correcting the mistake which appentert in the report of Mr. Leigh's evidence in your issue of yesterday, by ref rence to the Magis. testes noter, stated that he took advantage of that oppertunity to refer to the application he had previously mae that the proceedings should not be published in to newspapers at the present stage. Such application, Mr. Looker said, had not been made by him is consequence of any desire, expressed by his clients, that publication should not be given to the proceedings-they, on the outrary, desired that the whole matter should be fally made public-but because he himself had not considered it right and proper that, while subsequent proceedings were possible, the evidence given on the enquiry should. a published beforehand, and more especially if the report in the newspapers of such ovidence was incomplete and inaccurate. Mr. Looker then remarked on the frequency with which most insceurate reports of legal proceedings appeared in the local newspapers, in which remerke Mr. Dennys concurred. Immediately afterwards Mr. Bhelton Hooper arose and stated that he, a, on behalf of his Company, desired fall publicity to be giren to the proceedings.pleadol not guilty to assaulting an indian Yours, etc.
