in the open one day, another boarder took the opportunity to ransack the bedroom occupied by the newcomers. Su successful was he in his enterprise that he found and opened a hand bag which contained £220 worth of jewellery and then he departed.is The hand bag was on the chest of drawers for which a key had been asked and refused. WE ARE ISSUING FROM TO-DAY | en passant, it may be mentioned that the eminently respectable gentleman who made free with his fellow-boarders' effects, left be- hind him a trunkful-not of the traditional and time-honoured bricks, but of potatoes TICKETS and turnips. At any rate he disappeared and has not been heard of again. Now the married couple believed, as many more in their place would have believed, that they could obtain redress from the boarding. house keeper who had refused thṛm to their room and a key to the chest of drawers. The manager, however, ON ALL PURCHASES MADE BY HIM refused to admit any responsibility in the matter, and a claim 'was lodged in Court by The married couple who sought to recover the value of the articles stolen. It seems that the eminently respectable gentleman who could he vouched for by the boarding house keeper was in reality an expert thief. Mr. Justice Darling, who heard the case, WITHIN A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS held that such being the fact, the thief could have got at the jewellery even if the drawer had been locked. And neither the omission to provide a second bedroom key nor the omission to get guarantees of the character of the other boarders amounted to "mis feasance" which, it seems, must be proved in a boarding-house case and means a good deal more than "negligence." The plain- tiffs therefore failed to recover the value of their jewellery and were left in the lurch. The case is of importance to all boarders in Hongkong, as well as in England, for the probability is that were similar cases to come before the Courts here the presiding judge would adopt the dictus of his learned brother in London. But there is another point arising out of this case, as a contem porary remarks. It has been a custom for hoarding house keepers to demand references.
