Mr. WILLIAM KINNARD.

Re-examined by Mr. GARROW.

Q. Supposing a person to get out by this gate, and suppose the two Miss Davis's to be standing heremust not they have seen him?

A. If they were walking in that space, certainly I think they would see any body that got over.

Q. Suppose any person to have got over a fence, which I admit is easily done, the Miss Davis's to be here, and other persons here, must they not be visible to the persons on both sides?

A. Yes-but there is a lane opposite.

Q. If they run there, they would be visible to the person standing at the angle?

Mr. GURNEY. Would not that depend upon the degree of light? Do you mean to say that a person fifteen yards off must necessarily see a person passing from these gates to that private road?

A. It might be very possible they might not? Mr. GARROW. What is the depth from the wharf to the mud at low water?

A. I did not measure it.

Q. Is it considerable?

A. I should suppose it is five feet.

Q. You do not know the state of that mud do you? A. I do not.

RICHARD FROST called again.

Mr. GARROW. What is the depth from the edge of the wharf down to the mud at low water?

A. It is more than five feet, it is nearer ten feet.
Q. What sort of mud is it?

A. A loose clayey kind of mud.

Q. So that a person would sink in up to his middle?

A. No doubt of it, it is quite a clay mud.
