Mr. Justice Wood told an Indian money-londer that he should deal fairly with people whom he sued, during the hearing of claim in the Summary Court this morning?

Nicholas, of 81, Austin Road, Kowloon, first floor, for $159 being money lent under a promissory note. Defendants did not-appear.
In reply to his Lordship, plain- tiff said the claim was connected with a previous action against Mr. Nicholas only, when he belleved that his claim was $250.
His Lordship produced the origi- nal writ, and pointed out that the claim was for $106 only.
