Extension of time for fling allotments of shares in the Po Tumn Sing Co., of 146, Wing Lok Street, was granted in the Supreme Court yesterday on the applica tion of Mr. H. Somerset Fitzroy.
The manager of the firm, said Mr. Fitzroy, had been absent from the Colony for a considerable period and no returns of any allotments whatsoever in connec- tion with the firm seemed to have been made.
In reply to the Chief Justice, Mr. Fitzroy said that the firm was founded in 1921. The application should have been heard some, considerable time ago but his (Mr. Fitzroy's) illness had neces sitated its adjournment.
His Lordship granted ad extension of time, Mr. Fitzroy stating that everything was in preparation for complying with the regulations..

"Too Busy,"
At the commencement of the hearing yesterday, Mr. Prior informed the Magistrate that he had been unable to secure certified copies of his translations of the Chinese "letters.The Supreme Court refuse to translate them," said he. "and the Secretary for Chinese Affairs saya he is too busy." He was therefore quite helpless in the matter and would ask his Worship to allow him to get the various witnesses to state what they understood by them.
Mr. McCallum ruising no objection to the suggested procedure, bis Worship allowed the application. Lan Kwok An, accountant in the employ of the firm from whom the letter was supposed to have been sent, said that he had not written it; it was undoubtedly a forgery, as he was in a position to know about every letter that left his office. The letter was not in the handwriting of anyone in his offer. His firm, as a matter of fact. knew nothing whatever of the 21,000. demanded,
