Sir Henry Horkolog-Before you could find thet this alteration was made subsequent to the executionoftheassignment your Lordships would hare to lind that the accountant entered into a conspiracy with Chan Wo to commit a forgery. Counsel then contended that the Puiene Judgo had not gaite made up his mind
regarding his decision, as he stated in the Jael paragraph: On the whole I am of opinion that the balance of probability lies with the defendant."
The l'uisne-Judgo---I'd have non-suited the case if I hadn't made up my mind.

In order togive their Lordships a grasp of the cuse, Counsel quoted paranges froin the statements of claims and defence in the original astion.

in the said while the action was pending, the defendant Chau Yum and others retired from the Wa Bing Lug and transferred their shares therein and all their beneficial interests to the present plaintiff Chan Wa The memoranduma of the said transfer was signed by the defendant, the present plaintiff and other partners in the firm.

The first fact Counsel asked their Lordships to note was that prior to March, 1899, all the parties, both plaintiffs and defendants, were members of the Wa Hing Lung, and that prier to that date negotiations were entered into between the parties for the assignment by some of them to others of the goodwilt.
