Chief Detective Inspector A, N. Reynolds said that in connexion with the preacht charge the defen- dant, who was formerly in the om-! ploy of the Vacuum Oll Company, left there in April and had since been running wild.

He found some passengers plined down at the rear end of the third conch and in the front of the fourth. All the serious eneualties were in the space between the middle half of the second conch and the middle of the fourth. He was quite satisfied that everything that could have been done was done.

L.G.P's Evidence.

The Hon. Mr. F. D. C. Wolfe, In- spector General of Police, anid that he received first news of the ac eldent at 6.10 p.m. and went to the Kowloon station. There he as- certained that the fire brigade and two ambulances had left, and that arrangements were being made to commandeer buses. At 7.30 p.ra. he started for the scene of the C- cident in a car, with the Super- intendent of the Fire Brigade. They reached the road break at about 8.15 p.m. and there mot Mr. A. el Arculli, who took them in his car to the accident. He considered that Mr. Arculli did most excellent work, and he did not know what they would have done without him, as it was impossible to get another ear across the road break. They reached the scene of the accident at about 8.45 pan., and he remained Ile did not con- there till 1.30 n.m. sider that it would have been ad- visable to have sent for a destroyer, owing to its general unsuitability for carrying passengers.

His Worship imposed a time of $40 or four weeks' Bard labour in default.
