THE LANGKAT CASE.
LEAVE TO APPEAL TO PRIVY COUNCIL
GRANTED.
in U.B.M.'s Supreme Court this morning says the Shanghai Merowry of aɔth inst, before Sir Havilland de Sausmares, Judge, leave to appeal to the Privy Council was granted in the Case of M. M. Tackey v. R 9. F. McBala, The motion was made by Mr. P. Morgan Phil- lips, acting on behalf of the plaintiff, and read as follows :—Ļoave to appeal to His Majesty in Council that the judgment of the Full Court in | this action dated tih January 1910 be reversed and that judgment be entered for the plálatiff or a new trial bad between the parties. Mr. R. N. Macleod appeared for the defendant.
His Lordship polsted out at the outset that this application would naturally be made to the Full Court, but his learned brother agreed with him that the application, if going on beyond the Fall Court, should be-ordinarily taken by the Judge who tried the case, and who know more about it. It was no die forming a full Count aver a formal matter,
Me Pälllips, in support of the motion, usid the only question for determination,was that of security...
Mr. Macleod asked for £500.
Hi Lordship - I suppose there is no doubt that the amount in dispute is over £500
Mr. Phillips replied in the negative but sub. mmitted that a lesser sum than 2500 should be ordered,
Hi, Lordship-Sosing that it was a jury caso it doesn't seem to me 10 be anything out of the way.
Mr. Phillips- submit that the facts of the cate will be dipped of by the Committee in a very low minutes..
His Lordship It is more a question of Coursel's briefs than anything else.
Mu Phillips-The matter has also been made very easy, for Coussel hofors the Privy Council and for the Commitea by the ex haustivo Judgments of the two jud,es in this case and it is a matter watch 1 (magine, will be disposed of id one day.

Mr. Macleod said the questions in issue in' the Rissa Chinese Bank case and the present were very similar and in that case the security. ordered was £500.

Mr. Phillipe pointed out that in that case the sum claimed was early Tis 200,000, and is this case it was only about Tis, 17,000 He suggested £zoo was a reasonable sum, as in the case of the Li Yu Bank,

The Chairman, having presented the prices, said that he was pleased to listen to the Headmaster's Interesting report and noted with great pleasure the progress of the extension work, which would be completed in the present year. By far the most important fanture of the rent was with reference to the Oxford local axisation. He wished to introduce

The University would shantly, although not quite so shortly as Mr. Braidwood would have them balieva, would be ready, for roccupation and would give an education on the lines of an English University.
