The fighting on the left flank is generally the most severe and most desperate. The Japanese attacks have been repulsed again and again. In some places the enemy made ramparts of their own dead. Over twenty Japanese battalions were yesterday repulsed at Kaudalison with terrible losses.

From the beginning to the end of these beller specimen, lead to endless ludicrous and tennsactiors, Mr. Moreing had always taken side-splinting situations, which in turn give scope for some by-play of quite an original style, and breezy to a degree. The music is most attractive throughout, ever changing and tunaful, and the orcl estra under the direction of Mr. W. Fleming Vallance interprets it in the most satisfactory manner. Mr. Henry Dallas is seen at his very best as Afeukin, the eccentric little gardener, and his humour at all times dry and mirth-provoking, is never forced. Amongst the many vocal pieces and dances in which he takes part, perhaps his song "I do all the dirty work was the best, and he had to respond over and over again. Mr. Jamie Dallas has also a part which suits him down to the ground, that of ́Zactary, the orchid-hunter, and in this ho has ample opportunity to display his re- markable step-dancing and leg-mania to per- fection. His dance following the catchy chorus song" In the wilds of far l'et, was a triumph in this particular line of stage business, and he was no less successful in the Yorkshire duet and dance, in which he had Miss Dolly Vaiden as an engaging and clever partner. The parts of the Hon. Guy Scrymgeour, and Dr. Ronald Fussel, were in the very capable hards of Messrs. Edgar Ronalds and Frank Cochrane. the former singing the now famous "Bede'ia" with considerable spirit nat animation. Onc of the best character sketches in the cast was the Comte Raoul de Cossi, nat, and as portrayed by Monsieur André Kaya showed an irascible Frenchman, with an imperfect, and at times em barrassing knowledge of the English language to the life. Mr. Kaya, however, has a very fine baitone voice, and his song "Do I Love, a mixtur of burlesque and sentiment, was a thoroughly antis ic piece of work, Small parts were well played by Messrs. Percy Haydn, C. F. Cook, A. Newman and Edgar Velmyre, the last named giving a laughable impersona. tion of the drivelling village registrar. Of the ladies the palm easily went to Miss Queenie Strachan who was charmingly free and girlish as the Hon. Violet Austruther. Perhaps the most successful song in the piece, and one which alone makes "The Orchid" worth going to see, falls to her share" Little Mary." She sings this remarkably witty and unusual song with delightful grace and charm, and last night she was recalled no less than three times, giving a different verse on each occasion. Miss Rachel Kemp, so frank and artless in Country Girl, has but a small part as Thirde, the orchid enthusiast's private secretary, but what she has to do, she accomplishes in a finish ed and studied manner. Mademoiselle Bel Luscombe impersonates Caroline Twining, an impressionable young lady, who appears

Mr. Justice Joyce: You do not dispute the memorandum is binding in law?
Mr. lughes took no rew upon it. He simply said that Mr. Mareing was only one out twelve directors in the defendant company, have it carried out. Mr. Levent's case, he said, was that Chang and the Chinese company were to gel 275 000 fully-paid shares, and nobody else was to get any, and that the defendants, by giving them watered shares. had not given what they were entiled to. That meant con- trict. if it meant anything. But from the evidence it was clear that His Excellency and Vr. Detring knew perfectly well there would be some number of the fully paid shares issued. It would be impossible to find there was any such contract as that sggested by the plain- tits. He joined issue in the suggestion of Mr. Younger that the terms on which the money was raised for this company were extravagant and ridicnious. It was raid that all these
shares, except 175,000, were given away. To make such an allegation was to shut one's eyes in the business position of the company. He dit rot wish to draw a lurid picture of the case. That had already bien done by Chang and Deting; but the Corporation was undoubtedly in a desperate condition in 1900. It was shart of capital; it had very large liabilities, and it was practically impossible for it to go on with out further capital. Another difficulty was that, owing to the Boxer troubles, the very existence of the mine was threatened. The Allied owers, or some of them, were taking steps that might very likely have led to the property going altogether. As Mr. Detring put it, the "partition of China seemed to be looming before them. One of the European Powers was taking coal belonging to the company.
Mr. Justice Joyce said that under the circum- stances that was not to be wondered at, but whether they would pay for it afterwards.was another matter.
Mr. Hughes: Certainly not. His Lordship: Why did not you say in your defence that you admitted the memorandum to be binding?
Mr. Hughes did not think that could have been done, because the statement of claim was

His Lordship: In your sense, you do not object to the declaration that Mr. Levelt asks for?
Mr. Hughes: Not the least,
His Lordship: And Mr. Haldane does not object. It is that the defendants are not entitled to keep the property without conform ing to the memorandum.
Mr. Hughes: We have not got the property. It was, in fact, Mr. moreing's own affairs." His firm were merely mining engineers. Mr. Hover went out to China in a technical capacity as mining engineer. He could not vet instructions by telegraph, and he did not clearly understand whether he was representing the firm or Mr. Moreing. The new company took over the property in February 1901.
His Lordship: They managed to get in. Mr. Hughes They took possession of all that was not in the hands of stronger powerk, and ultimately they got possession of the whole, From February, 1901, the old company never had possession of the property.
Mr. Haldane said his clients were willing to carry out the agreement, but he had insisted right through that the construction the plain- tiffs sought to put upon it was ou rageous.
His Lordship: I am not going to decide the question of construction.
Mr. Haldare side he should argue that the Court could not decide the case without.
1 is Lordship: I think I can. There is no abjection to a declaration that the defendants are not enntled to retain this property without conforming to the memorandum,
Mr. Hu. hes said he had not said that or anything like it. He was prepared to assent to a declarat on that the memorandum of Febru- ary 19, 1901, was binding on all the defendants, and an order carrying into effect all its pro visions. The second part of the claim was to the effect that the indenture and transfer of the same date were obtained by the fraudulent misrepresentations and fraud of the defendants and their agents, and ought to be set aside. With regard to that he made no admission. The allegation of fraudulent representation and fraud was an important one, and he should have to deal with it seriously, whether it was rele- vant or not.
His Lordship thought the plaintiffs were entitled to say that Chang was misled into signing the memorandum on the understand ing that it would be binding.
Mr. Hughes: If that is the case I must meet it; but I do not think there is a shadow of vice of thinly way he could relieve the Court of this matter was by his learned friend saying Irankly and freely that he did not allege against Moreirg or Hoover any fraud of. misrepresentation,

inconceivable that the defendant should seek to get out of the agreement by stating that the rent was represented to be $650 monthly. It was also most improbable that the plaintiff would do such a suicidal thing as to represent that the houses only a few yards so to speak awny were tenanted when they were not. Now there was another great improbability, and that was that if the property was bringing in $650 a month, the price for which the property was offered-$61,500 would be absurd. Going on the basis of the valuation adopted in that worth something over Court it would be Stco,coo. In conclusion he contended that it had been clearly shown that defendant had inspected the premises and that he had com- pletely failed to discharge the onus resting upon him.
Mr. Pollock on behalf of the defendant said the case raised by his learned friend on behalf of the plaintiff really involved a charge of forg- ery against the defendant, because it seemed to him from the case on behalf of the plaintiff as presented to the Court, it involved in effect the allegation that either the defendant him- self committed a forgery by making this addi tion to the document without the consent at the plaintiff, or else that the defendant got some friend or employe to make the addition, in which case the defendant would be equally liable as an accessory to the forgery, and pro- bably more so for having implicated somebody else in the fraud. He quoted from Carr on Fraud and Mistake," third edition, page 416. Reviewing the evidence he said the broker had a distinct interest in pressing the plain- tiff's side, inasmuch as he was to receive ane and a half per cent commission on a sum of over $60,000, or in round ficures some $900. He could not by any means be described as a disinterested witness. He argued that the plaintiff himself added the characters in the document in which case no question of forgery would arise. It could not be sug gested that the Sigo was inserted in the document by the defendant by an inspect ian of the property, or any inquiries he The only per- made on the locus in quo.
