BEFORE HIS HONOUR ME. H. H. J.
Gomezer (Poison JUDGR).
ALLEGED FALSE IMPRISONMENT AND
́ ́MALICIOUS" PROSECUTION.
Mesara. A. S. Weston & Co. were sued by Au Chiu Ting, an ex suployes, who claimed €1,000 for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.
Mr. Eldon Potter, instructed by Mr. Chris topher Wilson (of Moses. Hastings & Hast inge), appeared for the plaintiff, and defondants wore represented by the Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollook, KO., instructed by Mr. Needham.
Mr. Fottor, in opening, stated that the plaintiff was a Chinese clock who had been in tho' employ of the defendant company for about five years, and before his discharge he was obtaining a salary of $35 a month. Plaintiff was recommended to the Company by Mr. Lau Chu Pak, and apparently he gave every satisfaction, bessure on two occasions when he intimated bie intention to leave the defendants raleod his salary and kept him on. For some time previous to June 29th the plaintiff was employed in Mesgre. A. B. Watson's Kowloon branob Mr. OXBERRY supported the Chairman's where he was the Chinese olork controlling the mineral water department: He was under resolation,
the supervision of Mr. O. 8. Williams, who was the European in charge of that branch of Mesra Watson's business. It was an oesantial part of plaintiff's duty to keep certain books, such sa stock books, ledger and so forth, which would show how much mineral waters had been received from Hongkong and had been sent out to customers in Kowlton. Up to June 29th the best of relations existed between the defend- ant firm and their employee. Plaintiff had given every satisfaction and defendants were anxious to retain him in their employ, but on June 29th something happened which led to
The amendment on being put to the mosting was lost, and the motion was carri od:

That re port speaks for itself, but one must mention the name of Tommy Logan, who was suck a soutes of strength to us in Shanghai, and I hear on good authority that he has a younger brother who will probably be our noxt champion; usa matter of fact, Tommy is already rather afraid of his brother. The new bath ia certainly a great success, but the expense of remsing it is one that has to be met, and it is not a light expon. It has been particularly gratifying to
mark me, to the cancers which soutions to attend the
mou
club's aquatio entertainments, and the pleasure they evidently provide to outside spectators, the very welcome presance of so many ladies at these gatherings is particularly flattering to
the club. The gymnasium, although ther-
oughly equipped, is practically unused, except by the ocassional enthusiast, and he apparently vary soon ceased to enthuse; and, though your committee secured an excellent instructor, it was not sufficient to stimulate the necessary enthusiasm, and in consequence the experiment will not at present be continued: Why with our large number of members, and the splendid opportunities they have had in watching variens profesional boxes, we cannot manage more boring tournaments I cannot understand. When I was schoolboy we all learnt at school, and when home for holidays we had private fights, and rattling good fights they were. The V. R.C. is essentially the olub of the younger generation
The CHAIRMAN moved that the annual subscription should be increased to 820 a year.
Mr. CARROLL seconded, and the motion was agreed to. It was also agreed that the sub. scription should be paid half-yearly.

If the facts were proved as Mr. Potter had stated he thought that the defeation of the plaintiff by Mr Williams was a false imprisonment. In order of the law it was not necessary that a person to constitute a false imprisonment in the eyes
should be thrown into gnol, but if a man waJE deprived of his liberty oran for a short time the person who caused his incarberation was guilty of tales imprisonment.
