E Lindsell, in which Lam Tien-kook sued Sapooran Sirigh and Co., and Sapoo- ran Singh, managing partner for $1,500 being 11 months salary and refund of security deposited with the firm. Costs, up to and including Nov. 1, were awarded for defendant.
Lam's claim
was made up as follows: $1,000 as salary due and $500 refund of security deposited on the engagement of his services. (Lam had taken up duties on May 1, and his duties were to look after the store and keep the accounts),
Defendants submitted that Lam
was frequently absent and did not attend to his work satisfactorily and that he left of his own ac-
cord.
Lam maintained that he was wrongfully dismissed.

MR. CHAU'S POPULARITY My Chinese colleagues on this Council, and I wish respectfully to associate ourselves with Your Excellency's tribute to our friend
Strong resentment was voiced at | Mr. T. N. Châu, the weekly luncheon of the Y's Men's Club yesterday, concerning a report in a Chinese daily re- cording the discussion on "Income Tax” at a previous meeting.
Dr. Shu-pul, Chairman of the Club, declared that the report was contrary to facts, and had mis- interpreted what had been said.
The article stated that the members were in favour of the introduction of Income Tax in the Colony.
Bath Dr. Li and Mr. Peter H. Sin, expressing the views of those present, said that the Club, dwelt on a social basis and not political. and the members had no political interest in their discussions,
Other points mentioned at yes- terday's meeting were an invitation by the YMCA. to the Club to Jain the various organisations in Hongkong to hold a memorial ser- vice in remembrance of the late Mr. James D. Bush.
The Club have also voted $25 To
