had to be confirmed on oath. We submit that in this notion tho only theory possible is that this admission was made upon the instruction of Wong Sun Nam, because it would be ghened to suppose that it could possibly come out of the brain of counsel or solicitors instructing counsel. In the case of Bookmaster against Meiklejohn, in 1853, Baron Parke said ploadinge are not admissions, but merely statements which the party wishes to reisu for the opinion of the jury. Such was the practice in 1853, but it is quite obvious that such statements cannot hold water for a moment at the present time.
