NATIONALIST FORCES MEET DIFFICULTIES:
EXPLAINED.
SALE OF A GODOWN.
Further evidence was heard in the land dispute case which was resumed before the Chief Justice (Siz Joseph Kemp) in the Supreme Court this morning. The
senior managing partner of the Un Wo Lok Tong spoke of the
assignment of half the property in question to Lau Yu-fong and Lau Yick-cheuk but said he could not give an explanation of entries regarding a $20,000 item which appeared in the books of 1919.
the senior
Un Ting-Kwong managing partner of the Un Wo Lok Tong, said he was an execu- tor of the will of the late. Un Hai-U. Witness continued that he knew the Un Un godown pro- perty. On November 29, 1919, he and the other executors of Va Hoi-U's will assigned their half share in the property to Lau Yu-fong and Lau Yick-cheuk, Be- fore that assignment the Man Chung-un firm had a half interest in the property and the Kung Yuan held the other. half.
Mr. Sheldon:Then how came it that you and the other execu- tors of Un Hoi-U's will were able to assign half of the godowns to Lau Yu-fong and Lau Yick-cheuk? wwwAB a matter of fact the late Lau Ping and Un Hol-U held these godowns in trust for these two firms It was not a case of it being their own property.
Also Held Trusts.
So after their' deaths the ad- ministrators of Lau Ping's estate and the executors of Un Hɔi-U's will also held these trusts?--Yes. Witness explained that the whole of the property was undivided and was common between the adminis- trators and executors. There was no sharp division, setting out any particular half for one or the other. When they assigned their share they received $70,000, the money being paid by Lau Yu-fong and Lau Yick-cheuk out of money belonging to the Lau Kwong Yu Tong. In other words, the Lay Kwong Yu Tong purchased the property through Lau Yu-fong and Lau Yick-cheuk,
