the that while MeNeill said Board act out certain conten- tions of the parties, it did not. aot out the main contentions or else had mistaken them.
Counsel said that appellant's motion which was dated January 11, 1956, was a matlon that the case be sent back to the Board of Review for amendment as being deficient, and Counsel re- elted the 10 particulars attached to the motion.
Mr McNell said that he would argue in the substantive appeal that if that is what the Bourd Review found that the contracts were not made in US. then there was no evidence in which it could reach its decision, He said that there were two businesses quite separate and distinct.

Mr McNeill said that from the vory beginoing, from his appeal to the Commissioner, continuing
his
appeal to the Board of Review, it had never been, aug- gested by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue that section 01 was applicable to the circum→ BUENCES.

the case should be sent back for amend– ment, He asked the Court for an order that the case, be sent back to the Board in terans of appellant's motion and that the order should be drawn
up by Counsel. The Beard should also be directed to amend as rt- quired within a time limit,
Mr Simon Li sold that he was moving for an order to emend tho caso stated with specifie | reference to the last six lines of page 2 of the case stated, which had already been referred to by his learned friend.
MISSED POINT
Crown Counsel referred the Court to an afdavi by Mr Darby led on April 20, 1050, which he read." Mr Li said that that was the gist of his conten- tion

Referring to appellant's motion, Mr. Li submitted that was a double-barrelled question 3. The whole issig of the Commis sioner's caso, he said, was that there was no contraet
