within reasonable and proper time other wise the contract was useless, as they might arrive fifty years bence. On 18th February the plaintiffs wired home to the manufacturer sak- ing for supply of the goods in two months and got a reply to the effect that the goods could only be supplied within four months. There bad been a dispute between the two experts, Mr. Smyth and Mr. Brooke Smith, as to what four months' arrival meant. Mr. Smyth stated the meaning to be that the goods should arrive four months from the arrival of the patterns and he also gave as a reason for it that until the patterns arrived the manufacturers, even al though their looms were empty, could not set to work upon the goods. He also stated that in the repeat order in all probability the time would ran from the date of the contract because the manufacturer was waiting for further details. Mr. Brooke Smith on the ether hand ssid that in his experience the time yan from the date of the contract and that the manufacturer gave such time as would inolade if necessary the time occupied by the details going home. It seemed that the manufacturers could put their own construction on that they refused to do the work in Army transport Liscum in the latest arrival two months and fixed four mouths.
