Ho reported that the gang were still in the house, and that the shots by the police had struck the daughter of Mr Jones, a girl of 14 yeara of ages in the head, whilst her brother was also wounded. , One by one the inmates shortly afterwards made their escape. Amongst those who esoaped was a poor woman who carried a baby only a few months old in her arms, and reached the station in safety, where she received every kindness. •
