Counsel on the other side, for the beneficiaries, are: Mr. J. J. Saunders and Mr. M. E. Ross and, for the Sole Trustee, the Hon. Mr. Palgrave Simpson.
Mr. Braddell continued to de- velop his argument and referred to various authorities to support his contentions: Once there was co-habitation and children, Coun- sel said, there must be presump- tion of the legitimacy and the onus was really not on the plain- tiff but on the other side. As the Courts were required to ad- minister justice subject to native customs, those customs were things which the Court could pro- perly and should take judicial notice of.
Counsel would show that Petronella's marriage. with Gaudoin could not rebut the pre- Bumption of marriage with Khoo Thean-tek. Once they had got a man and woman living together, and children born to them, they got a presumption in law that. they were married, even though. one of them was married at the time.
Mr. Justice Thorne was heard to remark that that would be open adultery.

"Now that you have discovered me," said Mr. Roberts to a "Daily Express" representative recently: I'please correct the rumours that I am a speculator or financier. I am merely a private man of moderate means. I have bought the shares of Methuen and Co., firstly as an investment, and secondly as a matter of private interest. I was persuaded to purchase by the fact that since the death of Sir Algernon Methuen this famous firm has made greater progress than even during his lifetime.
"My meetings with the four men who control the business- Mr. E. V. Lucas, Mr. Chamber- lain. Mr. Muller, and Mr. Kilby- quickly convinced me that my ! investment could not be in better! keeping.
