He was in a collapsed condition when I saw him, but recovered considerably when bragily was given to him. I ordered a chair and sent the deceased to the Hospital. By some mistake he was taken back to the casualty, ward again, and laid the till the morning, when he was removed by the Police to the Civil Hospital. The casualty ward is in my charge. The coolle appeared to be suffering from internal injuries, probably connected with the spleen.

Li Afoo said-I am a punkab coolle employed at the Military, hospital. On the 1st inst, about 10 p.m. I was pulling the punkah for the patients of the hospital, who were on the second floor. I was seated in the passage. The deceased was asleep in the same passage, about three feet from me. He was lying on the floor. There was no one else in the partage and no light. I saw a soldier going along the passage. He was coming from a side way, but I cannot say whence. As he was going along he came to the place where the deceased was and called out to him "Get up, get up." I turned round and looked, and at the same ume I saw the soldier give the deceased a kick. The deceased got up and cried out with pain. A number of soldiers got up at once, When the deceased cried out the soldier lifted up his band to strike him, but the other soldiers prevented him from doing so. The soldier was afterwards taken away and the rest of the soldiers went to bed. I cannot recognise the soldier who kicked the deceased, but it was the same man whom the other soldiers took away. The soldier never left the passage antil he was arrested. I cannot say if the soldier was drunk or saber. The deceased when kicked called out "Ok" and made signs of suffering great pain. There were five or six soldiers who came out. The prisoner had not to pass me before be got to the deceased and after he kicked the deceased he went on in the same direction as he was going and then passed me. Hetook no notice of me. He went on some distance after passing me and turned a comer. The deceased was crying all the time and the soldier turned back and pasted 'me again. He went up to the deceased and Nfted up his hand to wanted to atrike him. The deceased. the time was standing up, with his bands on his left side. He stood on the spot where he had been previously lying. The passage I speak of is the verandab, and faces Queen's Road. At one end of the verandah there is a staircase. I sat on the verandah to pull the punkah, my face being towards the walls of the rooms and my back facing towards the west. I sat aldey ways, pulling the punkah from east to west. I was at the west end of the building. There were some buildings at my back, but they were some distance away. The deceased was lying between me and the railings, a little to the west of me. The soldier came towards me from the tight. He came through a door that leads to the stairs. He was alone until the other soldiers came owing to the deceased shouting out The soldier was going towards the harbour on the west side of the building, The soldiers who were aroused came ont from the south side of

the building. I did not notice any soldiers come out from the west side of the building,

His Worship, at this juncture, decided to adjourn the case until this afternoon pending the production of a plan of the building in which the fatal assault occurred.

At the hearing this afternoon Mr. Caldwell appeared for the defence, and the following evidence was taken.

Witness, on being tested as to the length of time prisoner was absent away, indicated that it was about a minute.
