The book company, however, contended that when the premises were let to them in October 1945, the company was a partnership, In which Chan' Kin-kung and one Ping Pak-lin' were partners. They also claimed that in June 1946, one Wu Guang-yaw became part- ner and had since then remained a tenant of the premises. Oppoṇ- anta claimed there was no ground for eviction,
Mr. D'Alion, however, held that there was no evidence that the company was a partnership when the promises were first let by the applicants.
