Mr. Pollock thought there was a plain and. simple answer to Mr. Calthrop's ingenious: argamant, and that was that the documents given by the plaintiff companies to La Po Kam only operated as his Lordship held in the Court This was the fourth day of the hoaring of the below, and from which Li Po Kam was not in appeal in which the Hip On Exchange and any way appealing, as the discharge of Li Po Lo Co.

The defendant to the counter claim, Krok Yik Ting, asked that the judgment, whereby it was directed that the sale of the properties from the Hip On Insurance Co., Ltd,, to the appel- lants be set aside, be reversed so far as it declared such sale to be invalid.
Li Po Yung uppoaled on the ground that the release of Li Po Kani from liability-under the mortgags also released himi,

Mr. Slade had no objection, and the Court concurred.
Mr. Calthrop thought it was time he rose to appear on babalf of his client, and to explain what soomed to him an important position in the matter. He understood that he had been joined as a party by order of the Court, and their Lordships knew that both appellants objected to his being made a party. In his judgment the Chiaf Justice said that the mortgage as between Li Po Kam and the -plaintiff was still autwisting, and Counsel's client was entitled ander that judgment to that decision. If the male was a good one, he presumed it would have to be held good both as regarded Li Po Tung and In Po Kam, Then his client's rights under the mortgage were goné. The sppollants asked that the sale should be bold, good, and that the decision of the Chief Justice on that point should be reversed, Thant sale could not be hold good without affecting Li Po Kam's position under the judgment. What the appellants were in fact asking was that the sale should be hold good as aesting Li Po Yung, but they were content
