CLUBS AND LAWYERS...
The incident of serving a writ on a member of the Shanghai Club at the Club has raised a new point for the Far East. This particular mem- ber refused to accept service, saying the Club was not a proper place for such a business, His lawyer later Protested in Court at such an outrage on the amenities of a Social Club.. The Judge, Sir Havilland de Saus- marez, agreed, remarking that in every social club in London you are not supposed to do business there, or to give the Club as your business address. Quite so, but in the Far East the custom is different. Many men do just that, and especially at the Shanghai Club.
