He went on to read many, autho rities and cases relative to his ap plication to bring evidence to. prove custom and usage.
Mr. Bennett submitted hers was a great deal of difference be ween stom and usage. The words had become much mixed un in the cases. Custom was some thing which had existed from time inmemorial whereas usage might te something which first happened yesterday so long as it had attained particular place. Evidence custom was always admissable whereas usage was not., The con- tract was quite plain. It said, "Offer you agency Salley Mearsk, Swatow. Amoy, dollars bundred and fifty."

He submitted that that mean that the plaintiffs would pay $150 for whatever the agents did. Had the mention of the hundred and fifty dollars been omitted then' the case could never have arisen. The ship arrived in Swatow and lie understood that then was the first time defendants' know that They had to collect freight. They had to deliver the cargo and cargo could not be delivered without collecting freight. The contract was an entire contruct and cover- ed everything that the defendante had to do with the ship al Swatpw and Amry. He submitted that His Honour could not admit the evidence to explain anything which was inconsistent with the contract as he considered it was. At Their Peril.
His Honour said, it appeared fo him the defendants' case was that they had done so much within the contract and so much outside it. Could they be heard in view of that?
קן
Mr. Bennett submitted" they could not. If they lnd done any- thing outside the contract then they bad done it at their peril.
His Honour: The defendants way they had no duty to collect Freight as agents.
Counsel paid it Was the duty of an agent to collect freight and therefore defendants' pay- ment was $150. If it was some- thing an agent ordinarily did then he could not charge extra for it. If defendants' case was correcti
then they should have said in re- ply to the offer "Accept, entrance and clearance only."
The case was adjourned at this stago.
