The decom-ol was the friend of a Haklo cooliv who was working on the reclamation at Kow- Joon Point, under one of the prisoners. On the 21st of last month he appears to have gour to the reclamation works to see his cousin: his object is going to see him was to persende him to leave his work and return to his village, as his mother required him. Tu coolie, named Chon San, left bis work and went off with deceased for the afternoon. He returned to the reclamation about five o'clock, when he wont to the fourth defendant and asked leave to return to his village to see his mother, and to draw whatever pay was due to him. The other. threo defendants were preveot, and they appear- ud to be accused more or less by the men working on the reclamation. They refused the request of the coole to go away, saying that. he would have to work his mouth out. He per sisted in his request and they persist in their refusal. The result was that quarrel creed, and it was alleged that the first and sorond prisoners struck and kicked the deceased ut ihe instigation of the third and fourth prisoners, who told them One of them as the expression "If he is killed, that will be our look-at."
