In the latest interview with representatives of the Football Association, Mr. Tennant made no suggestion that, football generally should be abandoned, but he thought some- thing should be done to satisfy public sentimont and that this might be accomplished if the Cup competition were withdrawn.

Mr. F. O, Jeukin, instructed by Mr. Hooper, of Mesare, Johnson, Stokes and Master, appeared for the Bank of Taiwan,
Mr. Potter pointed out that only a month had passed since the death of the deceased, and the appointment of an interim receiver had been obtained.
"
Mr. Jenkin said he wanted time. to answer his friend-he had only just received notice of this motion. He was entitled to eight days.
Mr. Potter said that the bailiffs were in possesion of the property, one was in the house and it was a fearful injustice that it should be reported through Hongkong that the deceased, who was wesitby man, had died bankrupt when the estate was perfectly solvent and would show & surplus of six or seven lakhs of dollara. There was no suggestion that the stats was in jeopardy. An allege- tion of jeopardy would not stand as they could not infer jeopardy. If they could, then any statement would be sufficient to have an interim receiver appointed on-he would be appointed as a mastër of coarse. There had to be some foots lodged to show that the estate was in joupardy. There were four guarantors for the suça of $28,000 and their own com pradore was one of them,

stating that he did not think the estite was in jeopardy and that the other side were in danger of losing their money.
