THE BOLD ADVENTURERS.
His Lordship:-He hasn't got to prove that an actual cash pay- ment was made but that the money was paid somehow, and he has produced a document.
Mr. Hugh Jones said that the document referred to a specific period which had nothing to do with the matter.
His Lordship said his view was that the explanation of the document made it in defendant's favour and held that the onus had been shifted back to plain- tiff.
.
Giving evidence, plaintiff said that he loaned defendant $1,000 on January 16, 1928, in a Chinese Club in Hongkong before he took over the management of the troupe. He said he took over the management on January 23, 1928.
Asked how he came to make the loan, plaintiff said, "I asked him to help me and he asked me to help him. As he was sick. I lent him the money.""
Mr. Hugh Jones:-He was, and still is, the leading actor in this troupe?—Yes.
I take it that the success of the troupe depends largely on his co- operation and hard work?—Yes.
Plaintiff went on to explain how he took over the management of the troupe. He stated that when he took it over from the Hip Wo, the Hip Wo retained a $7,000 share, this being the value of theatrical properties. It was more of a friendly arrangement
than a formal business transfer. Plaintiff explained that there was also one other partner. Be- fore he took it over, the troupe had been losing money and when he took it over under the name of Wo Ping he continued the con- tracts with actors that had been entered into by the Hip Wo and completed them. He said that he also took over liability for some of defendant's debts, including one of $13,000 and another of $4,000 the latter due to the Hip Wo. The Wo Ping advanced money to defendant and made payments on his behalf for cloth- ing, this method being usual among actors..
it
Mr. Hugh Jones:-In fact, is almost necessary to do that in order to keep them in good humour isn't it? Yes.
Plaintiff went on to say that during the Grst six months of his management the troupe made money
the and he re-engaged troupe, increasing defendant's salary from $40,000 to $45,000 year. It was agreed that defen-. dant should receive $500 a kwan
