"Are you à Roman Catholic?" That unusual question was fired at a witness in the Summary Court by Jase Alberto yesterday Gutierrez, during the hearing of a case brought by him against the Advertising and Publicity Bureau, claiming $105 which he alleged was the balance of salary due for Jane last.
The plaintiff claimed that he had a novel way of ascertaining whether the defondant was telling the truth or not. Mr. Justice Wood, P. J., declined to allow such cross-examination.
Mr. R. A. Wadeson; of Deacons, appeared for the defendant firm. Gutierrez was not represented.

When West continues with the Len of diamonds, the dummy should win the trick with the jack. East will echo out by playing the deuce and the declarer will play the four next diamonds. Declarer's play must be the ace of spades from dummy, deliberately throw- ing away his good king of dia- monds. He can then lead a small trump from dunny which East will win with the ace, so as to be able to lead a club. Declarer will play small and West will win the trick with the ace of clubs and return the nine of diamonds. Dummy will play the six and now when East Puffs with the nine of hearts, the declarer can overrul with the ten or hearts. Declarer picks up the one outstanding trump and all the rest of his tricks are good.
If he had failed to provide him self with a re-entry in dummy so as to be able to discard his king of hearts, the declarer's contract would have been defeated.
