Mr Brereton admitted that the plaintiff was the oplum farmer, admitted the licence and also the contract, but not the interpre- tation put upon the latter by plaintiff. He was instructed that the story of the finding of seven balls of oplam in the defendant's poention was simply a myth; no such thing occurred. That there was more than 20 taels was not proved. He submitted that what the Ordinance referred to was opium in the proper sense of the word

His Lordship said the suit was brought on a contract, on which the Magistrate had no jurisdiction.
