According to the evidence of Dr. J. E. Dovey, the boy was suffering from several abrasions, while his right leg was partly severed and five of his ribs were fractured. Death was due to multiple injuries Iaceration of the liver, internal haemorrhage and shock.

According to Sergeant McRobbie, the pigs were contained in crates which were not provided with mat- ting with the result that the legsed of the animals protruded through the holes causing them to get bruised and eat. Two of the pigs were dead while it could be seen

that they could not have been given food during the voyage,

His Worship intimated that it was no uso asking the witness. if ha did anything to prevent boya from jumping on to the trucks, as they could hardly expect a boy of his age to try and keep others off.

In reply to his Worship, Sub- Inspector Elston said that the wit ness was engaged at the gutes on the cross runds and it was not hin duty to prevent boys from climbing on the trucks.

Mr. Lan Vit, assistant manager of Mesara. Snug Lee. Contractors, the owners of the locomotive,, said that he himself had seen boys jumping on the trucks and had instructed the driver to chase them

Continuing, the Coroner said that no doubt the jury would think the matter was one that should be given

some attention to by the Sang Leo firm, because it was most natural thing for boys of the ago of the deceased to jump on truck when in motion. It was n thing they loved to do and nobody would adopt the attituds that if they did that sort of thing they would have to take the risk

The defendant's only reply was to shake his shoulders.
