Miss Enid Violet Annie Orrell- Kelly, daughter of an officer (now dead) of the 7th Hussars, claimed damages for alleged assault and false imprisonment from Mra. Mary Ellen Thurlby, proprietross of the Gore Hotel, South Kensing- ton.
Mr. Croom-Johnson, for Miss Orrell-Kelly, said his client, who was 24, had lived at the Gore Hotel with her mother for some time before Mrs. Thurlby purchased it. In August 1924 they went on" a round of visits, locking their furni ture in the sitting-room and paying £3 35. a week during their absence.
When, in passing through Lon- don, they called at the hotel, Mrs. Thurlby intimated that Mrs. Orrell Kelly would have to pay £5 58. in future for the room. A notice to quit was also handed to Mr. Orrell-Kelly, who, on com- pleting the visits, decided to accept the notice. She made Arrangements for their goods to be removed, but Mrs. Thurlby
declined to allow the workmen ro remove a sofa before some account was paid.

The firing is from territory in the hands of the Cantonese.
