After Mr, Porter's room-boy had identified his master's silver arch and wallet, Mr. Badeley asked the Coroner if he would ask the boy whether Mr. Porter generally carried much money about with him, since no money was discovered on the body when it was found. The boy id that Mr, Porter seldom carried more than a few dollars on him.
As the Coroner himself pointed out, however, producing 35 cents from his pocket, this was not unusual in Shanghai. Mr. Badeley, producing ten cents, rhed that that was true, people seldom went around with more little "rickshaw than a money."
The inquest Thursday, May was adjourned to at 230 pin.
