SUCCESSFUL SUIT.
JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFF,
N
ŠUPREME COURT CASE.
In the Supreme Court this morning the Prisne Judge, Mr. Justice Wood, gave judgment for the plaintiff the case of S. Shabata against Wong Sai Ying, which has occupied the court for several days. The amount involved was $600. The case grew out of the suit of Wang Sai Ying against K. Asane. The former was given judgment and attached $600 in the bands of Yik Fu Man Shabata thereupon claimed that the $600 belonged to him, not Asare, and sued.
His Lordship said:
I propose to do nothing more than simply state what my position on this issue is. My position is that the money is owed to Shabata.j
I propose to enter judgment i
on the issue for the plaintiff and costs. My view is that the coal originally was the property of Shabata and that he had never sold it until it was sold through Yik Fu Man in Hongkong- Judgment therefore for plantiff and costs.
