Dr. L.. D. Pringle, medical oflear In charge of the Victoria Mortuary, aald that the cause of death was rupture of the heart due to the deneceration of its muscle following. a blow on the chest. In his opinion, It was not a heavy blow.

He added that from the appearance

of the wounds of the skin it could not have been a powerful explosion. There was no burning and the wounds wore such as might have been caused by merely throwing stones person.

Liu Fuk, coolie foreman, testified) that Lo Pat know nothing about blasting. At 8.45 am. on the day in question, deceased was holding th 12 b hammer and hit a ruck as the rock was one foat higher than the level surface in the nullah. In the course of striking there was an ex- Boalon. Witness was surprised by | It. The blast' sounded as usual: no inore, no less.

Li K, another foreman, said that on the evening of November 25 there, were two blasta. Liu Yau, & quarry- man, was in charge of setting the blasts. Liu Yau left after finishing his work on November 20 and wit- ness had never seen him, again. It was witness's duty to

direct

the holes to be drilled and heir positions, He inspected them at the finish..

The Corener: Can you offer any explanation why this shot' went off twice?

Powder Overlooked?

Winex replied the rock was not properly split the previous night and it was ponsible that one packet of powder did not go off. The

Witness examined the hole the previous night and found it cracked but not broken fto pieces Ilis Worship suggested that water were poured into the hole after a discharge it might prevent a hap pening of this nat'tre in the future. Witness agreed.

His Worship mentioned that sent the paper's to the Government Analyst, who had expressed AB opinion on paper that the rock dust from the hole resisted part of tho blast. Shock, friction or percussion could cause a blast.

The Coroner: Is it possible that. the charge was an old charge and had been overlooked?

Witness: No.

After Chan Ming, a labourer whe was standing nearby at the time of the accident, had given evidence, the Coroner summed up briefly.

The jury, after a brief retirement, returned a verdict of accidental death due-to-some-misplacement-or-dampra-| ing of the powder and added, as a rider, the suggestion that precaution might be adopted of pouring water in the shot-hele of a discharge be- fore permitting work to proceed the following day.
