DODWKLL v. BOSS.
QUESTION OF DAMAGES.
At H. B. M. Supreme Court, Shanghai, on 11th inst., before Mr. F. S. A. Bourne, assistant judge, application was made by the defendant or appellant for leave to file an amended
answer, and a motion to dissolve the interim
injunction granted against him by the Pro vincial Court of Foochow or for an order that plaintiffs or respondents give an undertaking as to damages,
Mr. Ellis appeared for the appellant; Mr. Macleorl for respondent.
According to the N. C. D. News report, Mr.
Ellis said he understood that his friend was willing to agree to appellant amending his answer. With regard to the second part of the application he understood his friend was willing to give an undertaking us to damages. He respectfully submitted that he should be heard as to the injunction being dissolved.
His Honour said he was not ready to hear argument on that point. No doubt the res pondents should have given an undertaking when the interim ir junction was issued.
Mr. Ellis said that if he could satisfy his Honour as to certain facts and points of law he would argue that the injunction should not have been granted under the clicumstances,
His Honour said the undertaking would have to be given; he did not know whether Mr. Maclend was prepared to argue on the other
matter.
Mr. Macleod said Mr. Fllis' application was in the nature of an appeal:
His Honour did not feel prepared to deal with anything of the kind. The undertaking being given appellant's application was satisfied. He was not prepared to hear funker argument unless Mr. Macleod was prepared to go on, Appellant asked for the undertaking or the dis, solving of the injunction. Having obtained the undertaking the alternative fell through. If both were required the application should have been worded differently.
Mr. Ellis said that if the interim injunction was dissolved he did not want the undertaking as to damages.
1
His Honour repeated that he could not go on without Mr. Macleod's consent.
Mr. Macleod said that if there was an appeal against the injunction it should be treated as an appeal.
His Honour said Mr. Ellis came to Court to protect his client. Something had been done in Foochow which undoubtedly placed his çilent in an unpleasant position, with no one to look to ip_case the injunction was unjust. That was going to be remedied by requiring respon dents to give security that if the injunction was wrongly granted they would indemnify him. Then, as Mr. Macleod said, whether the interim injunction was dissolved or not it would have to be settled by an appeal.
Mr. Ellis stated that application for leave to
appeal to this Court with regard to the interim injunction had been made at Foochow. It was on that appeal that he attended that day.
Mr. Macleod said he had received no notice of any appeal.
His Honour said he would rather have no-
tice. If Mr. Ellis wanted to go further during the vacation and if his client would be suffer ing any wrong by waiting until September be
given.

MR, J. R, TWENTYMAN,
FAREWELL DINNER.
HEARTY SEND-OFF GIVEN TO LATE DOCK DIRECTOR.
If there are any doubts among the share-
hulders of Messrs. S. C. Fambam Boyd & Co. as to the personal popularity of Mr. John Twenty man, the retiring managing director, a peep into the large private dining room of the "Shanghai Club last evening would have set
all such fears at rest, says the Shanghai Times, of 11th inst. Karely has a more represent stive body of men sat down to a banquet ta- ble in hanghai. Added to this there was a sposlancity and full-heartedness in the entire proceedings that would have touched even a more experienced man of the world than Mr. Twentyman. The guest of the evening has been accused of having made more enemies than any other man in Shanghai, yet strange to say not one could be found among the roo persons representing every walk of life who attended the banquet.
Mr. John Prentice occupied the seat of chaite man, and was supported on the right by Messrs. Twentyman, Boume and McLeod, on the left by Sir Pelham Warren, Commissioner Hobson and Consul Pitzipios.
Rev. C. R. Darwent, M.&., offered grace, after which. Mr. Prentice proposed the King, which was drunk with musical honours.

Let all respectfully obey. An important proclama tion:
31st year of Kuang Hsu, 18th day of the 6th moon (3alli July, 1995).
Mr. Prentice then tossed the guest of the evening. Mr. John Twentyman had been know n by him for over 25 years and during that time the very best of relationship had existed be tween them. Referring to Shanghai landmarks such as Sir Pelham Warren and Messrs McLeod and young, he said these gentlemen could safely endorse the remarks he had made The gentlemen who honour Mr. Twentyman to-night are representatives of the Crown, law, architects, merchants, and even brokers. (Several voices "What about your son-in-law?"

Under the circumstances two toasts would be in order, but as he (the Chair- man) was a Scotsman, he studied economy, and answered the purpose. We are all unwilling to say good-bye to our guest, but the prospect of a future meeting brings us compensation. Gen slemen, drink with me to the health of Mr.

Vr. C. M. Bain was then called upon to sing and replied with "Little Mary," the inst verse of which raised the roof and had to be repeat- ed. It ran

When Mr. Twentyman arose to reply he was visibly affected by the expressions of esteem, He sincerely thanked Mr. Prentice for his kind remarks. For 25 years they had worked har moniously together, and it was with feelings of regret that circumstances necessitated his de- paiture home. But he would always carry The pleasantest recollections of Shanghai and the friends left behind He could safely a the business was left in excellent hands, and he heavily wished it all prosperity, Some day he hoped to return and shake hands with his old friends.
Mr. J. Douglas of the Old Dock then sang "Hurrah for the Highlands."
Mr. Wilcockson called attention to Mr. Twenty nap as a father. It is not the usual case, he said, to refer to such a fact, but every one who knew Mr. Twenty man as intimately as he did, must have been struck with his devoirdress to home and family. He proposed a loast to Mrs. Twentyman.
At this stage Mr. G. S. Lindsay sang "Ten Thousand Miles Away.".
Mr. Twentyman replied to the toast to his wife, by saying that he certainly had never had
a better one.
Mr. Ernest Hall, in his usual brilliant man- ner, delighted the banqueters with a piane forte selection.
Six Pelham Warren proposed the health of their host, Mr. Prentice. To which Mr.
Prentice-fittingly replied by Joasting our pupular Consul General, which was honoured by the guests singing "ule Britannia."
Mr. Jas McKie sang in his usual inimitable manner, "The Tarpaulin Jacket" to the ac companiment of Mr. W_C. Murray,
Aker Sir Pelham replied, the Chairman pro- prsed the health of the foreign friends present, coupled with the names of Messrs. Chapsal
and Broderson.
Mr. Bain then sang in good, old Scotch style "Hoch Aye," which was enthusiastically receiv ed, the guests joining in the chorus.
Mr. Chapsal replied in French, while Mr. Brodersen made a very brilliant oration in English, dweling chiefly upon his long inti macy with Mr. Twentyman.

AN OPEN LETTER..

The Shanghai Chinese are carrying on a vigorous campaign against the smoking of American brands of cigarettes. Posters are surreptitiously put up all over the Settlements warning Chinese against them and portraying grotesque representations of men with deg's heads, etc., the result of persisting in using them. The police are doing their best to stop this practice, but it is obvious that it is very easy for an enthusiast to put up piscards when no police are in the vicinity

Mr. Ellis thought he had made it quite clear what he wanted. The beading of his applica- tion showed that was an appeal from a pro- vincial Court. He asked leave to amend the application to read "and that in the event of the injunction not being dissolved plaintiffs shall give ad undertaking as to damages."
Mr. Macleod asked that the appeal should be set down for hearing in a proper way, with notice of hearing.
Mr. Ellis said that the only point he intend. ed to argue was that the provincial Court should not have granted the injunction.
