EXPERT MASSAGE No. 308, Nathan Road, 2nd Floor,

empanelled consisted of Messra. A. McKellar (foreman), Á. J. Bursley and F. M, Cunhn.

It will be recalled that Kowloon Motor Bus No. 662, which was pro- ceeding along Prince Edward Rond towards Kowloon City, knocked down two women at a spot between Knight Street and Waterloo Rond. One was killed instantaneously, but the other died later In Kowloon Hospital.

After formal evidence had been given, Li Fan, the driver of tho bus, stated that his vehicle was pro- ceeding at 16 or 15 miles an hour. One half of the road was up for re- pairs, leaving the other half for vehicular traffic. As he was pro-

ceeding long, he noticed two women walking on the left hand side of the road, They were about three feet from fence, which bordered the left of the road,

Driver Swerved.

He was aware of them all the time, and sounded his horn when he was approaching them. Just at this moment, a small boy ran aç- ross the road from the right, and in trying to avoid him, he swerved to the left, knocking down the two women, He stopped the bus at once and attended to the women, One was already dead, but the other was alive. With the help of the con ductor he placed her on the bus and took her to hospital.

The rond was clear at the time and he could see quite well.

Lo Kwan, the conductor, said he did not know anything until the bus was brought up with a jerk. Pre- vious to that he had heard thic driver sounding his horn..

Asked why he did not detain the passengers after the accident as he was required to do by law, he said that after he had attended to the injured woman, all the passengers had disappeared. As far as he could remember, thure were two Portuguese ladies on the bus, but the others were Chinese.

The Coroner remarked that it was very unsatisfactory that the passengers could not be traced, despite the fact that notices had appeared in Chinese papers as well as the South China Morning Post requesting the passengers to com- municate with the Police.

The inquiry was adjourned for a week.

Passengers travelling on the bus and all those who witnessed the ac- cident are again requested to com- municate with the Police.
