YARD WALL.

JURY'S VERDICT: "PURELY ACCIDENTAL.".

-AN-UNPRECEDENTED-CASE-

The inquest into the death of Loui Leung and two other women who were crushed by the collapse of the Mitsu Bussan Knisha coalyard wäll. at Yaumati, was concluded yester day afternoon at the Kowloon Magistracy afternoon at the Scho field, sitting as Coroner with a jury. A verdict of accidental

death was returned,

Seven witness, including relatives and persons employed making coal baskets on the spot at the time, gave evidence to the effect that they had received due warning that the wall was unsafe before it actually collapsed. Others denied that they were warned to vacate their posi tions. They also stated that they had been working at coal basket making at this place for the past 1 years and had never received any official order not to work there. In reviewing the evidence the Coroner

that the fact that two other walls not belonging to the M.B.K. had collapsed at about the saare time showed that the M.B.K. could not be regarded as wholly, responsible. He further stated that the walls were about 20 years old and the weight of the coals against them, and the action of rain that had fallen that morning, soaking the walls, had caused them to crack and collapse.

Although no similar case of wails having collapsed had ever taken place fore in the Colony, his Worship recommended that the Jury approach the pro authori: ties to see that in future conl should not be heaped against wall that were considered unsafe,

The jure without retiring return ed a verdict of death due to a cidental circumstances.

It is understood that the Mitsu Bursin Kaisha have voluntary given a compensation to each of, the deceased family.
