had always paid the rent. The re ceipts were given in the Tong name.
Alter witnesses in support of the plaintiffs case had been heard, the defendant in evidence, denied that he
ided on the premises or that he agreed to be responsible for the rent. He took no part in the negotiations with regard to the renting of the flat.
The Judge (to Mr. Rowan, for the defendant): I do not think I can accept his version.
Mr. Rowan: He is to be believed as much as the plaintiff. I think his version is quite straightforward.
Mr. Rowen contended that his client could not be held responsible in view of the fact that the lease was not signed by him. If he had en opportunity of producing the broker who took part in the negotiations he thought he should be able to convince his lordship on the point.
The Judge: You have had your opportunity. The facts seem to be quite clear
Mr. Rowan suggested that the defendant was alleged to be the tenant because the mother and sister, who had all the negotiations with the plaintiffs, were out of the Colony. The plaintifs were taking advantage of that fact.
The Judge: Your course of action is quite clear: When is the mother coming back!
Mr. Rowan: In about a month's! time.
The Judge: Then why didn't you pay the money into Court and deny liability and then bring the case up when the mother comes back.
That
is what you should have done if your case had been straightforward and honest.
•
Mr. Rowan: I do not think I am under any liability to do that.
Judgment was entered for plaintiffs with costs.
