His Worship intimated that in the next cases of cruelty he would like to have the Colonial Veter nary Surgeon as a witness.

THREE CASES REPORTED

YESTERDAY.

Falling and flying stones caused three accidents yesterday, with the result that three patients are now receiving treatment for in- juries in the Kowloon Hospital.

The most seriously injured of the three, is Ng Shek, aged 56, a stone-breaker, who received ter- rible injuries to his head whilst engaged in blasting operations on a hill at the rear of the Kowloon Hospital. He now lies in a criti- cal condition.

A second Instance is that of Lau Ching, a motor lorry driver, who received injuries to his right hip caused by a falling stone, weighing 20 lbs., which suddenly dropped from the hillside at the north end of Prince Edward Road. In the third case, Choi Yuen, aged 40, a cook aboard the 8.3. Ngok Fee, was injured in the right leg by a flying piece of stone, which struck him during blasting operations at Kowloon Docks.
