Enever introduced witness to the defendant Bonnett and Hayres, who also spoke about the great prospects of the company, a prospectus of which was shown. Haynes told him the Sino British Association was a branch of Humphry and Denman. He lunched with Bernett, and some days later.he dined with Enever at his fat at 77,4 Knightsbridge. Enever again said that there are splendid chances in the company and ho had great influence in China, and witness agrted to find and invest £1,000.
