BUS DRIVERS’ TRIAL.
TO-DAY’S EVIDENCE.

The trial of the two motor bus drivers, Li Kam and Lo Shang, who are charged with manslaughter, was continued at the Criminal Sessions this morning.
The Attorney General, Hon. Mr. J.H.Kamp, K.C., conducted the case for the Crown and Mr. Campbell Prosser defended. Prisoners were the drivers of motor buses which collided on a bridge near Castle Peak on April 4th, and as a result of the collision four passengers were killed and many others injured. The prosecution alleged that prisoners were guilty of negligence.
Kong Kan-chuen, a school-master, recalled, told Mr. Prosser this morning that when he sighted the approaching car they were each about 100 yards from the different ends of the bridge. When the bus he was in was 20 yards away the approaching one was a similar distance from the bridge.
The manager of the Bus Company said he personally examined both vehicles involved in the collision on the morning of the accident. The brakes were in order when examined afterwards it must have been due to the collision. He took the buses up the hill leading to Laichikok and tested their brakes on the return journey.
Sergeant Stimson, replying to Mr. Prosser, gave it as his opinion that, considering the extent of the damage and the position of the buses, they must have been doing about 35 miles per hour.
Mr. James Smith, acting mechanical engineer of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, deposed to examining the two buses at 6.15 p.m. He described the damage to each bus and went on to say that the foot brakes were out of order and would not act no matter how far the pedal was pushed, and the hand brake although in order did not appear to have been used.
Mr. Prosser, in cross-examination, suggested that no man walking the streets of Hongkong, or anywhere in this world, outside a lunatic asylum, would go out without having either the foot brake or hand brake in working order.
Mr. Smith: And yet they do.
In reply to further questions, witness said the car could be stopped without brakes by using the engine as a brake. He took an hour and a quarter over his examination. There was no damage to the chassis as far as he could see.
Questioned by His Lordship, witness said that it was decidedly not a sign of good driving when in a tight corner to rely on the foot brake alone, even had it been in working order. The hand brake should be equally as efficient as the foot brake.

THE DEFENCE.
Lo Shang, driver of No.1204, went into the box and said he first sighted the other bus a little over 40 yards away. He was slightly nearer the bridge than the other car. As he continued he noticed that they looked like meeting on the bridge, and he slowed down. The collision occurred just as the front of the car passed the bridge and it occurred, he said, because the oncoming car swerved towards him. He considered he had the right of way. The accident would never have happened had he (witness) not slowed down. He used his footbrake only that day because it was sufficiently strong to stop the car. It was strong in the morning, but gradually got weaker. At his last stop before the bridge he pulled the car up in six yards.
Later witness admitted that he used his hand brake several times during the day, though only when he wished to stop the car altogether.
The case is proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
