-VERDICT.
-We, your jury appointed to enquire into the death of one Chung Chi, find that the said Chung Chi came to his death by an explosion of gas in No. 6 mine, caused by a sudden out-burst of gas, which was liberated by a squeeze. From the evidence before use we are unable to decide how the gas was lighted; it may have been lighted by the broken lamp, Exhibit "A", or matches used by Chinamen while lighting their cigarettes or pipes.
-We are also of the opinion that the Inspector of Mines should see that the Mines Regulation Act is more, strictly enforced.
