I really have not bas bien subscibed since 1884; and I cannot doubt in this case, and that being so I see no see that is is not property. The mailer does reason why I should not give Judgment on it at not rest thers; apart from the chattels, one. The action is one for an injunction which have been purchased since and Independ against the Stewards of the Hongkong Jockey eat of the Race Fued, and are therefore in the plaintiff from the benefits of the Club; and with a view to the disposing, if possible, of the cass without ging into other matters, the parties have stated these two questions for the opinton of the Court. If I give my opinion los favour of 'the defendants it would have the effect of
stopping the action; if, on the other band, decide for the plaintiff, the Snal result of the discussion in question must be to
lead to the trial of other matters.
The two issues are —
1-Had the plaintif on the 26th September, 1891, such an interest in the property of the Hongkong Jockey Club or in any part of such moperty as would entitle him to an injunction, restraining the defendants from excluding hi from the Eenefits of the Club, assuming him to have been improperly expelled therefrom on that
date?
Mr. Dennys-Very facts to appear in the way I have stated, it wasite captain' absolate daty towards the plai tiff to forward that discharge at once, as soon sa be got to Shanghai. He did go to the British Consal at Shanghai and got the plaintiff signed off the articles, but he should have obtained a proper race-legal discharge and sent it down to Hongkong.
As it is, the platalift has never got his legal dis charge up to this date. He will tell your Lord- ship that it is utterly impossible-whatever may be the opinion of the captain-for him to obtain employment on board any other steamer in this colony without getting that discharge.
Walter Amery, the plaintiff, then gave evid. ence, in the course of which he stated he had not applied to any shipmaster and been refa.ed, because he had no legal discharge.
|
The evidence of Capt. Hutchison, taken de Bana esse, was put in and read by the clerk, from which it appeared that the discharge was not sent from Shanghat because of the some over sight. He stated that the fact of the plaintiff not baving a discharge would not prevent him from getting another ship. Plaintiff had gone to him on the arrival of the ship here, and offered to say nothing about the matter if a sum of $50 were paid him. The defendant replied that he would see Messrs. Butterfield and Swire. He did so, and they refused to do anything in the matter. He thought that no shipmaster would have objected to ship the plaintiff

Mr. Ellis, on behalf of bis cilent, submitted that if any sort had been committed it was with the consent of the plaintiff, and there was really no ground for action on that scare. It was purely a matter of arrangement between the plaintiff and the defendant, and as a matter of fact the plaintiff had sustained no damage. In the two Instances where he made ansuccessful applications for appointments the fact that he had no formal dis harge did not seem to be material and the question of disability had never arisen in fact

It is a lease to William Keswick and Thomas Jackson-the only two who assumed the trust'; there was another, I am told, but his name does not, now appear trustees of the Jockey Club, The lease describes the land, including the course and the present enclosure; it grants to these trustees this land so described, to have and to hold the said plece or parcel of ground, with all the appurtenances thereto belonging, fra period of 14 years." It is leasehold estate, granted to the trustees. And then there is a covenant "that the trustees shall pot during the continuance of this demise allow the premises to be used for any other purpose," and shall provide curtain iatrice accommodation. It is a covenant restricting the use of the land, 2.-Did the plaintiff. Robert Fraser-Smith, but certainly in my mind, as clearly as anything cease under the provisions of Rule 34 of the could be conveyed, there was conveyed to the Hongkong Jockey Club to be a member of that trustees a leasehold interest.

If the rent had been very er was be dispensed from making each tender much larger it would not have allered the nature or payment under the clrcumstances set out in of the lease to the trustees. That being so, to pungraph two of the Replication berein? my mind, it is quite clear that there is property, Now I will just say a word or two about the Then it is suggested that the members of the second issue first, it really has not been pressed Clab have no beneficial interest to the property, on behalf of the defendants, and it does seem to It seems to me that they have, in several ways, ine that the matter is really not open to srgu.

It seems to me that the enjoyment not go into the cases quoted (by plaintiff) con of the art of the Club premises is altogether cering contracte, because it is perfectly clear, different from the licence which the general to my mind at least

But it would make no beneficial interest in the property, such as a difference whatever to the plaintiff's position member of the Club, could not be deemed a at the date of the ground of action, nor at trespasser, and therefore there is a clear distic present.

If, on the other hand, there is no such proprietary right In the Club, this sort of action cannot be taken. That distinction was clearly pointed out in the cases dealing with proprietary clubs as distinct from ordinary clabs, where the club itself has no property-I am talking of social clubs-where the house and furniture and wines belong all to the proprietor, and the members merely pay a subscription for the use of someone Mr. Dennys (Dennys and Mossop) appeared else's property; In that case, this action could for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ellis (Wetton and not be taken.

His lordship-This is the question--These two parties agreed that the plaintiff should be discharged in Hongkong, and that the certificate of discharge should be sent down from Shanghai as soon ng possible,
Mr. Denny-Yes'; that is really the case. His lordship that certificate has not been sent. Is the master liable for not sending that certificate of discharge, and bas the plaintiff sustalaed any damage by reason of not receiving that certificate ?
His lordship-Has the plaintiff sustained any damage by reason of not receiving that certificate of discharge which the master said he would send ?
