The Coroner, addressing the jury, said there would be no difficulty in determin ing the cause of death His Worship said that the woman, 47 years of age, was knocked down by a motor lorry and died on the following morning from injuries received. Medical evidence would be called to show that the decènsed `was injured in the leg, which had to be un- putated. Expert evidence would also be taken as to the condition of the lorry, and the jury would have to decide whether there was any negligence on the part of the driver,

Dr. Newton, of the Kowloon Hospital, said that on October 12th he made a

post-mortem examination on the de- ceased.--He found that the left-leg- of the deceased had been amputated. The arapulated leg was taken to the mortuary together with the dead body. The ex- ternal examination of the body showed that the skin on the left leg had been torn off from just above the ankle and as high up as the loin. The muscles in the calf of the leg had also been torn and crushed, and there was a splintered

fracture in the left shin bone. The in- tenal examination of the dead woman showed that death was caused by shock following the injury to the leg...

Questioned by the Coroner, Dr. Newton said that the shin-bone was run over by the lorry..

The next witness was Mr. John Valen- tine Dodd, Chief Interpreter of the Supreme Court, who said that on the aftenoon of October 11th he was standing on the side pavement of Saigon Road talking to a friend. He noticed a motor lorry cutting through Saigon Road into Nathan Road going at the rate of about 13 miles an hour.

The Coroner: Did the lorry reduce speed when turning the corner of Nathan

Road?

Witness: Yes, reduced by about ball. Foreman of the Jury: Did you hear any horn sounded!

Witness: No, I did not.

A youthful witness provoked much laughter in describing the accident. He said he was 15 years of age, and when asked if he was ́ a paper-box maker, he indignantly replied, no, and said he was a paper-ware maker.
