OLD MAN 4

Mr. H. II. Mullor, a resident of the Peninsula Hotel, was driving a car in Nathan Road yesterday, when it ran into a Chinese, Au Kuon-yee, who was knocked down, receiving injuries necessitating his going into Hospital. The man was discharged this morning.

The mishap was due to the victim, who is a shop-coolle, cross- ing the road in front of the car. He was carrying two slings of Arewood suspended from a bamboo pole, and was struck by the front of the car.

The windscreen was shattered, and the steering wheel became loosened as Mr. Muller made desperate attempt to avoid a colli- sion at the last minute.
