In. a statement made to the police before his death in Auckland Hospital, William Braddick, aged 75, exonerated from blame a 12-year-old-boy cyclist with whom he collided in Karangahape Road on the afternoon of June 25. The-statement, which was produced at the inquest into his death, was: "I do not blame the cyclist, as I did not see him on the road." The Coroner, Mr. W. R.

The verdict was that the cause of death was due to lung complication following an injury to the spine caused by being accidentally knocked down by a bicycle.
