AN ACTION WEIRDRAWN.
Ten of the defendants in the previous bait, Li Ki and Haug, brought action against the former plaintiff claiming $500 for wrongful
arrest.
Inspector Dymond was called and stated that ho sent for the plaintiffs in this action, but at no time were they under arrest.
Mr. Almads, who appeared for them, here intimated that he wished to withdraw. and plaintiffs were called up and asked if they wished to proceed. They did, but on his Lordship informing them that it would menu more costs against them, and immediate execution, they decided to let the matter drop.
The court of Appeal in New Zealand, from whose decision the appeal came in "Lodder *.
