Boy's Death Investigated

European Sergeant Tells Of Mishap

An inquiry was held by Mr. H. R. Butters at the Central Magistracy yesterday afternoon into the death of a boy, Lau Kal-wing, aged eight, who was knocked down by a motor cycle driven by Pollee-Sergeant L., C. Pennell in Wyndham

Street on February 10, and who subsequently died from his injuries at the Queen Mary Hospital on February 22.

Mr. Bulters was assisted in the inquiry by a jury comprising Messrs. J. D. Humphreys (Foreman), W. Hyde and G. Kelly.

Acting Sub-Inspector B. G. Baker was present for the Police.

Dr. Lien Tsoong-kya, attached to Queen Mary Hospital, stated that the boy was admitted at 1.35 p.m. on February 10. He was semi-conscious and had a wound on the left side of the scalp. His condition improved during the next few days, and was best on February 20, when he could take food, but he took a turn for the worse on February 21, and died at 4 am, on February 22.

Witness car

carried out post mortem examination, and found that there was a puncture of the scalp. In ternally, the skull was fractured on the left side, and a fragment of skull had driven into the brain, producing a crater-like cavity. There were no other injuries, and witness conclud- ed that death was due to laceration of the brain caused through fracture of the skull, '

Fu Yat, a house-boy employed at a house in Wyndham Street, said he was looking out of a window on the afternoon of February 16, and saw a motor cycle driven by a European policeman proceeding along the

street from the direction of the Dairy Farm Company. A small boy cross- ed the street from north to south, and was knocked down by the cycle. which was travelling at an ordinary speed. The policeman immediately pulled up and picked up the boy, and Jater put him into a public motor cur and drove away.

SERGEANT'S EVIDENCE Sergeant Pennell said he was on motor cycle patrol, and about 1,05 p.m. was driving westward Wyndham Street. A motor vap passed him about 15 yards from the
