CLAIM FOR GOODS SOLD.
In ummary Jurisdiction this morning, his Hooour Mr. A. GE Wise, Paisno Judge, prosi- ding, Ng Sin Kong and Ng Yul Hui, partners in the silk firm of 'Kwan Wop of Canton, sued the Tai Wo firm, of Honkong, for the recovery of the sum of $1,000, due for goods sold and delivered by plaintiffs to defendants. Mr. C. F. Dixon, of Mr. John Hastings' office, appeared for the plaintiffs, Mr. R. Gardiner, of Mr. O. D.. Thomson's office, appeared-for-the-defen. dants.
Mr. Dixon said the Kwan. Wo firm were wholesale silke dealers in Canton, while the defendants were filk merchants in Hobg- kong The plaintiffs claimed the sum of $1,000, which was the balance of an account due for goods sold and delivered to de- fendants. The actual amount of the balance due was $1,028.98, but the $18.95 had been waived in order to bring the claims within the jurisdiction of the Summary Court. The defendants sent, their managing partner to Canton to order these goods, because that was their custom, and goods had been previously orderd in Canton in the same way and sent to Hongkong.

When the latter arrived in Hongkong they were not of the same quality as ordered, and defendants wrote and told the plaintiffs so, and offered them au amount for them which they thought reason. able, atherwise they would retura them. The plantiffs sent their managing partner down io Hongkong to arrange the matter and seale a price, rather than have the goods ROBINSON returned on their hands. That was done, and payments were made on account until there was a small balance due, and non' the eve of New Year's Day the same man come from Can- Lon to effect a final settlement of the account. Certain charges were considered and finally he defendants handed the plaintiff's representa live $100 in full settlement of the account.

Moreover, they kept HIGHEST their books in a very irregular manner, and, all considered, they must be non-suited, with costs in favour of the defendants.

THE PORT OF WHAMPOA
One of the first inquiries was with regard to the construction of the new ratway line from Canton to Whampoa ?

"Not the direct rate?" "Well, the line to Amoy, curves at Wham- noa, but it is on the route surveyed."

OTHER SCHEMES.
'You have several improvement schemes in progress in Canton-the bunding scheme, for
instance-"
"That is completed."
"And the removal f the baniers ?"
That has been done to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Customs "
The waterworks-"
That scheme has been started. It is pro- posed to supply Canton with an adequate Supply of water whenever we can decide upon the best source from which to obtain the water."
"Is that a private enterprise?"
"In a way it is, but the Governmeti has taken 6:0,cco taels' worth of shares, out of the capital

“Do you expect to supply the whole of Can-
tun with water for that sum?
*If more money is wanted then more money will be found, you may be sure of that. We expect that the scheme will be completed in about three years."
Three years! You will supply all Canten with fresh water in three years?"
"Oh, certainly," said the Taptai, with sublinie satisfaction.

Plaintiffs con tinued to forward to defendants copies of the account rendered, and in the sixth moon of last year Ng Sie Kong came to Hong- kong to compare his book with the de fendants, in order to see whether the ac counts agreed. Upon that examination he found the book he saw exactly agreed with the one in which the aider was entered, and which would be produced beiore be Court, The delence, he understood, would be the plaintiffs had not credited them with certain moneys paid on account. He and his chierit had had an inspection of the documents in Mr. Thomson's office, and his client was of opinion that some of them were not genuine, the chops thereon not being the chops of his firm.
Ng Sze Kong, managing partner of the plaintiff firm, was called and gave evidence in corroboration of the opening statement, and said that he received a letter from the defendant s complaining that the price was too high. He had lose that letter, but he sent a reply in which he stated that he could not agree with the defend ants on that point. He kept a cash book and all moneys received from defendants were en- tered in it.
