Could that wound have been caused by that--or something very similar to it ?" The witness put a forefinger on the sharp point of the head.
"Certainly!" he answered.

"It is much more likely to have been caused by such an implement as this than by a salmon gaff." Mr.Lindsey reached out his hand for the ice-ax, and, repossessing himself of it, passed it and its brown-paper wrapping to me.
"Thank you, doctor," he said; "that's all I wanted to know." He turned to the bench.

"I wish to ask your worships, if it is your intention, on the evidence you have heard, to commit the prisoner on the capital charge today ?" he asked.
