Mr. F. Burroll, the driver of the car, stated that on the night in question he was driving from the Hong Kong Hotel to the Hong Kong Electric Recreation Club. He wont by Queen's Road as far as Happy Valley and then followed the tram line in Tin Lok Lane to Hennessey Road, About fifty yards; from Hennessey Road he saw two Chinese walking in the middle of the road. He sounded his horn but. no notice was taken until the car was about five to ten yards from them. The two Chinene then soparated, one turning to the right" nud the other to the left. Witness f had to swerve the car slightly to the left in order to avoid the mai who had turned to the right. See- ing that there was still enough room for him to pass, witness carried on at about 10 to 15 miles an hour. As he was approaching Hennessey Road he looked ahead to sea if there was any traffic, and on luok ing nearer he saw, what he presum-: ed to be the same Chinese who had turned to the left, about two: yards in front of his car. Ip wit hesa" opinion the man was walking towards the centre of the road ap purently to join his friend who had turned to the right,

Applied Brakes/

Realising the danger, witness ati onco applied the foot and band. braken and at the same time swej- ved to the right in trying to avoid the man. Unfortunately, the rear wheel struck him.

He applied the brakoa so end- denly that the car skidded and struck a tramway standard. Two of the tyres were also, putetured.

After hearing further evidence,. the Court adjourned the inquest.
