The Yee Les Estate Agency and SHEARER
Mr. Chu Kam Cho were sued by Cheung Wing Tung yesterday morning at the Summary Court be fore Mr. Justice P. Jacks, for breach of contract. The amount claimed was $143.70 which arose out. of the defendants' failure to let plaintiff have possession of a house at Queen's Road West after a ten- aney had been entered into.
Mr. D. L. Strellets appeared for: the plaintiff and the defendanta were represented by Mr. W. D. Owen.

-The plaintiff's case was that he was looking for a suitable place to start a dry goods store, and as a resuls of a conversation with a friend, he got in touch with the defendants. The latter took him to inspect some of their houses at. Queen's Road West, and plaintiff decided to rent No 437; which was occupied at the time. Defendants, however, promised to let him have possession at the latest on Septeio- ber 14th; of this year. A month's rent in advance was paid by plain- if on July 31st to seal the contract. The amount paid was 847.50.
Having been assured that he would have the premises on the day promised, plaintiff set about making preparations for his new business. There were certain Ex- tures and furniture which he re-
quired, and he accordingly gave an order for them. A sum of 850 was deposited with the furniture maker. Plaintiff then went to Kongmoon to engage a staff and brought them down to Hong Kong. He paid an- other 850 for passages and advances to the staff.
When the day arrived for him to take possession, "plajatifi went to the premises and found that the house was still occupied by the same tenant. He spoke to the defendants about the matter and was told that he could not have possession. As a re- salt of his failure to get possession, plaintiff lost his deposit with the furniture maker and also the money which he spent to get a staff to Hong Kong. He had lost 8143,76, which sum forreed the subject of "the claim.
The defence while admitting that a tenancy had been entered into and that the plaintiff was to have possession ön September 14th, alleged that plaintiff had gone back to them in August and had asked to be freed from his contract. Plaintiff was also said to have willingly surrendered the money he paid as advance rent on the con- dition that he would not be forced to take possession when the day
