FATAL LANDSLIDE. INQUIRY AT THE HONGKONG MAGISTRACY.
DANGER OF STREP BANKB.
The fatal landslide in Kennedy Rond on July end, as a result of which three coolie women lost their lives, formed the subject of an inquiry by Mr. Wood, the Coroner, at the Hongkong Magistracy yesterday. Previous to calling evidence the Coroner said that the question which
also as one of the British delegates to the jury had to consider was whether the Economic Conference of the Allies at there was any negligence on the part of Paris. But these measures can only be anyone concerned in the work which was regarded, at best, ne temporary make-evidently responsible for the death of shifts. Just as the war has shown the the women.

The Coroner pointed that the bank which had slipped was on the corner of the eastern boundary of the lut. The bank at the corner of the southern boun dary, which Mr. Wright had suggested should be shored ip, was intact. thought the jury should be mads nware of that. It was the opposite bank which had collapsed. The Coroner also said the bank, the presence of which was un that a drain had since been discovered in

to shore up immediately the bank was laid bare The reason why Eo drew at- tention to the southern bank and not the bank which had collapsed was because the santhern bank ran along the top of Ken- nedy Road, and there was a big building just below it.
The jury was composed of Messrs. P. I. Mitchell (foreman), F. Autasio, and L. Medina.
Mr. Vergette, of the P.W.D., also gave evidence, saying he inspected the work about a week before the accident. The foundations of the wall were then being cut. Everything then appeared to be in order.
Mr. Raven, the architect, said he was. not supervising the erection of the walls, but had made the plans for them. He had nothing to do now with the work on the eastern portion of the site.
Mr. Wright expressed surprise as this, saying all the correspondence had gone to Mr. Raven.
His worship, in closing the enquiry, said there was one point in the evidence which was quite clear. There was no way. He was not responsible whatever blame attached to the architect in any and his position should be cleared, so that the authoritica might know that no blame attached to him The work had been inspected by the Public Works Department, but after a certain point evidence of the owner of the site, who their work ceased.
