Mr. Sheldon: "All the winnings were paid into "B" account and the losses were met out of that account or the dummy account, so "that the plaintiffs have not lost
a cent?
Witness: These things were all met in the name of the company and the profits belonged to the company-but they have not got them.
Witness elaborated the point by saying that the real loss occurred when money was transferred to the Hon Ping at Shanghai and left the plaintiffs' control entirely.
Mr, Sheldon said that was a sub- jeet for argument later.
On the question of the audit of the books, Mr. Sheldon said. it was sought to show negligence against his clients, but it appeared that there had been negligence on the other side, since. the books which should have been ready for audit in March were not produced until September, thus delaying for so many months the discovery of the frauds carried on by Lau Ping——
