Crombie for reparation of the sums embezzled. The money embezzled by Crombie in the course of four years amounted to nearly 109,000 marks. The defendants had every reason to suppose that considerable soms were still in Crombie's possession.

At the request of defendavis' representative 'plaintiff has allowed the farmer for the accept ance of the proposal sufficient time until a telegraphic reply to Mr. Brndersen's letter hd been received from the Hongkong partners. A reply was received un, the 16th of June, and Brodersen at once expressed the acceptance. The agreement has therefore been made. The withdrawal of the proposal by plaintiff on the 15th of June is invalid on the ground that friaintiff was conventionally bound to the offer till the answer arrived from Hongkong on the 16th of June (paragraphs 145, 748 11. G. 13) The question whether the conclusion of the agreement should be argued according to Ger- man or Fnglish law need not be discussed, as the application of either would give the same
csuli.
The English law. says undoubtedly (vide F. Pollock, Principles of Contract, "page 23):
'A proposal may be revoked at any time before acceptance. So that even if the proposer purports to give a definite time for acceptance he is free to withdraw his propose! before that time has clapsed. But it adds en not bound to keep it open unless there is a distinct collateral contract to that effect founded on a distinct consideration.

HONGKONG GOVERNMENT ADVANCEÉ LOAN.
The full text in Chiness of the agreement between Chang Chih-tung and the British Colonial Government in Hongkong was pub. lished by the Universal. Gazelle on Saturday morning, and below we give a condensed trans lation. The agreement consisti of leo a.ticles that the Viceroy agrees with the. Hongkong Government to raise a loan amounting to, the sum of £1,000 sterling on behalf of the Viceroys and Governors of Hupeh, Hunan and Canton and their successors to redeem the Hankaw-Canton Railway from the American syndicate, for which transaction Shang Kung- pan has the sale right, duly given by an Imr perial order. The terms of the loan arc for ten years counting from the 6th October, rgag. The principal and interest of the lean will be repayable in ten annual inilalments and will be £110,000 and the first instalment will be paid on the 19th day of the eighth moon of the next year (1906). Should the three provinces alter paying the 5th instalment fit to pay all the principal and interest, al one time, six nionths previous notice is necessary. When the principal and interest are completely paid the agreement will be void from that date. The rate of interest of the loan is 41 per cent per annum. The repayment will be made to the Treasury of the Hongkong Government at the dates mentioned in the annex of the agreement either by bill of ex- change or in cash at the rate of exchange then prevailing. The security of the loan is the opium revenues in the three provinces of Hepeh, Hunan and Canton. The security shall not be placed as security for other towns than this unless the present loans is first redeemed,

ANSWER 2.
Is plaintif by threats unlawfully induced to make this agreement? According to the un contested statement by counsel for the plaintiff, the latter was at no time threatened. She made on the soil of june an offer of The. 10,000 without having been approcacbed by defendants on the subject directly or indirectly whether verbally or in writing.
Before the offer: of Tis. 20,000 was made a conversation between 'plaintiff and the repte sentative of defendants was held with the fallowing result : –
The plaintiff asked what crime has my husband committed ? Brodersen answered that he bad stolen Tls. 35,000 to 40,000 and also asked the plaintiff as to what she could do to cover the loss. The plaintiff answered
