The defendant said he was a partner and he would sign and it would be all right.” In cross-examination the witness stated as follows never told the defendant that the chop on this Lote was different from the chop on the other notes. The defen- dant's evidence was as follows: "I signed exhibit 1 because in the former chop of the Li Hing three of the four corners were missing, and the one exhibit was complete, and the com- prodore was doubtful about the chop. He wished me to sign not as a guarantee but that it was a genuine chop.” “The compradore Tang Lai Chun gave his. evidence in a clear and convincing manner. The defendant, on the other hand, gave his evidence badly 1 believe the evidence of Tang Lai Chun, and disbelieve the evidence of defendant.
