93, a, b. e. A list of Directors had been drawn up from the recorda of the Company, but owing to pres- sure of work in getting out the in- formation necessary to answer these questions I have not yet had time to compare the list with the file kept by the Registrar of Companies.'

"The answer is in the affirmative. 27. If so, please furnish the dates of such transfers and the con- sideration therefore."
Dates of transfer are open to inspection but I am unable to state the consideration given."
Mr. d'Alinada: From this list you have given me I notice that Mr. C. E. Beavis was appointed a Director of the Company on Novem ber 15, 1996. Shortly afterwards, I see. Mr. Blake was appointed to act for him. Can you tell me how

I take it, then, that he acted as a kind of forum tenens for Mr. Brauis-Yes; there is a provision for that.
The questions and answers were then resumed.

At Central Magistracy yesterday, a woman named Lo Ying was to have been charged with ill-treating a mui teni, contrary to section B of the Ordinance of 1923..

The charge stated that the defen- dant lived at the second floor of 30 Lee Tung Street and that on November 20 she is alleged to have ill-treated the mui trai by hitting her on the face with a cine.
