Mr. Ewens, who represented a creditor, asked which the petitioner had entered into with the Chinese Customs being completed by him. It was desirable that the work should not be stopped by the official assignee on taking posses sion, and the creditors desired to carry it on, finding the necessary money themselves.

He was after wards mounted by his owner without difficulty and ridden round in a circle, directed by the trainer's guiding reins, the equestrian, withou the aid of the reins, keeping his seat well in spite of the animal's erratic gyrations caused by the skilful application of a driving whip.
