ACCIDENT.

The preliminary enquiry into) the charge of causing death by a rash net against Mr. W. A. Roll, a German who, it is alleged, knocked down and killed a Javanese in Orchard Road, Singapore, at midnight on August 21, was con- tinued in the Second Police Court last week.

Dr. D. 1. Gracey said the accused was brought to him at the General Hospital by Inspector Roberts about 1.50a.m. on Aug 21. The Inspector stated that the accused had staggered and he wanted to know ifthe was under the influence [of drink, Witness-told him that the accused, was very excited and nervous, but lie was perfectly. sober."

LAST YEAR.

Mr. R. J. Farrer, President of the Municipal Commissioners, In hia report for 1926 states:

The census taken in Tine was abortive, checks made in various sections of the town showing generally understatements of the population averaging 15 per cent.

The influx of Chinese immi- grants was enormous, and while it is reasonable to believe that a very large proportion went elsewhere in search of work after a short stay it would be unreasonable to suggest that all did so. Hence it is inferred that overcrowding, where possible, was worse than ever. · The words "where pos sible" are inserted because in the cheek census of the Sagó Street block it was found that the inmates numbered precisely the same as in 1921, the inference being that by 1921 this block was already saturated.,

In answer to Mr. Smith (counsel for the accused), the witness said that it was possible for the ac cused to drop off to sleep in a chair in reaction from a state of excite ment. He would them possibly be. in a state analogous to a faint.

Questioned by Chief Court In- spector Meredith, who prosecuted, the witness said that the taking of liquor, not enough in itself to 28.21 in 1925 to 32.04 in 1926 are, 11 Value, produce intoxication, would posit is thought in the case of the 12 Coppery. sibly affect the judgment of a latter year, too high owing to the 18 Female relations. nervous person.

Ta view of the above it is not surprising that the death rate rose, though the figures given 10 Young oak.

In answer to the Magistrate, he said the shock of the accident would have a far greater effect. He should say the accused could not have had enough drink to affect his judtment,

Mr... A. E. Greetham gave evidence of examining the ear, the brakes of which, he said, were in perfect order,:.

After all the evidence had been beard, the accused was charged with causing death by a rash act, and said that he had nothing to

say.

He was committed for trial at the next Singapore Assizes, bail being, increased from $500 to $2,000,
