Counsel reminded the Court that the original action arose from the manipulations of Lau Ping, "ab- sconded manager of the Sandal- wood Association, who dealt in enormous exchange transactions the proots on which were paid by cashier and compradore orders which he endorsed on behalf of the Association and paid into a Hon Ping Firm account at defen- dant's bank.

Potter submitted that in order to reduce the damages, the money or payments which the Bank had to rely upon in feduction or the damages, must be part of the proceeds of the converted pro perty. Furthermore, the sums in question must have been used to repay the liabilities of the Asso- clation.

There was no evidence to show that they money were part of the complete proceeds from the pro- perty, and that the sum received was paid away for the Association's labilities.
Mr. Jenkin said that the total sum which was claimed in this connection was $591,000. This was agreed by another party on the | discovery having been made of an- other order to add the sum of 50 280.38 from the National City Bank. That made a total of $50 920.61. He thought it would be an appropriate moment to ask His Lordship to order that his clients had interests by way of damages on the claim here for conversion.
