He examined him, and found several bruises on the back and loins.

One bruise was just over the spleen.. At 2 p.m., as he was getting considerably worse, he was operated on, ard died shortly afterwards. Aš the result of a port morten examination the deceased was found to have a diseased spleen. At least four or five kicks must have been given with considerable violence. The man suffered great pain. An operation was the only hope of saving his life.
