The body was very much burnt. The blow on the temple was quite sufficient to cause death.

The injuries were inflicted before the burning.

To Mr. E. It is my opinion that in the case of the man the carotid artery had been injured. The man might have lived after the injury half an hour, and probably not more than 10 minutes.

Probably death from the other wounds might not have instantaneous, said wounds would kill him.

The woman probably had the temporal artery cut through too.

The atmosphere of a heated room would necessarily keep up the temperature of the body.

To the Court In some cases blood may run from a body from 5 to 10 minutes after death.

Truly interpreted by me to the accused. Yip South. [illegible signature]
