He could not explain the fractures of the ribs at the back as well as the injuries to the front being caused by v a fall. It was impossible to express a any definite opinion about the brain, because of its decomposition. Ht R could not exclude the possibility of l( death from cerebral trouble. The damage to the ribs could have oc- s currea shortly after death. Such injuries might possibly have been causea by the sea beating on the body when it was wedged between the rocks, but p this was unlikely. The injury to the e; windpipe was such as he had never seen in any person as a congenital deformity. He could not exclude the possibility of its being a congenital deformity. Anything was possible. An enlarged thyroid could have a flattening effect on the windpipe. He could not imagine a stone or rock producing such a localised indentation on the windpipe as there was in that of the body he examined. Court Adjourns.
