Neither of those wit neases was either asked or expressed any opinion as to the right of the landlord to take back the premises, if he did not himself require them.

BWIRE AND GEBU TẤN CHUNG ĐÓ, This was a suit brought by Messrs But- terfeld and Swire against the proprietor of the Man Hing Chan Hong for $781, being balanse due for passenger tickets for de- fendants' steamers, the account of which was chopped by defendant's hong, Mr Brereton, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr Hayllar, Q.C., instructed by Mr Johnson (of Sharp,Total arrivals of Scented Tex 27,000 boxession on their lung fide requiring the same Toller and Johnson) for the defendant.
The case was connected with the action in original jurisdiction, between the same Parties, heard before the Chief Justice, and a Special Jury, June 24th, and then reported in our columns. Plaintiff then sought to recover $12,438.84, being the balance due for passage money in respect of passengers shipped in the plaintiffs' steamers (Mesare Butterfield and Swire's) from Hongkong to the Straits. Plaintiff were then non-suited, the Chief Justice feeling himself bound by the decisions of the English Courts to reject as evidence, the guarantees plaintiff rested his case upon, these guarantees not hearing on their fase the name of the guarantee. Flaintiff now sued on one of these guarantees to the amount of $761 as on the personal liability of the defendant. The principal point raised in the case, and that on which it was decided, was whether the case was one within
the jurisdiction of the Court. Under the Code, the Summary Jurisdiction Court can only entertain suits up to $1,000, and an scoonat must not be split.
Mr Hayllar argued that the Court could not entertain this suit, the claim being a continuous one.
The judge decided to that effect.
