(Before Mr. E. J. Ackroyd, Acting Chief Justica).
A CHARTER PARTY CASE,, In the matter of the Compafila Asiatica d Mexicana v. Lauts and Haesloop and others. Mr. Leach, instructed by Messrs. Wotton and Deacon, was for the Company, and Mr. Francis, QC, Instructed by Messrs. Johnson, Stakes, and Master, was for the defendants, who sought to reverse an order restraining them from obtaining certain money resting in the Bank,
His Lordship said It was painful to interfero in cases of this kind; in the heat of argument marks were often made which were regretted. Mr. Leach then proceeded to meet the arg: the affidavit of Me, Vogel contained statements that were false to his knowledge, as to the charter. Bat he urged that there was a construction to be put on the charter which bore out his affidavit, and that even if false at all it was unintentionally so. Charter partier constantly contained statements as in this case, and it was a constant question whether such statements were guarantees, warranties, or mere descrip tions. Whatever might be the legal opinion of this charter, it was certain that to a lay mind clause I looked like a guarantee, and clatise 12 implied an exception that if clause
were DO1 fulfilled, the de. fendant firm would not give any guar- antee. The reason why the injunction was taken out against the Bank was that the money was nominally in Lamke and Rogge's name, but really Lauts and Hatsloop's; and the Compafila applied to the Bank to prevent li being paid out, and the Bank declined to take any notice; therefore the Bank was restrained by the injunction.-After going through the facts | of the case, Mr. Leach repeated his contention that the defendants bad broken the contract, and the Injunction was justified.

Mr. Humphreys stated in his minute that the Hongkong Dispensary analyst reported favourably on the water.
Dr. Ayres added that the whitish appearance was due to the broken shells in the sand of the filter beds, to a great extent,
