X. D'Almada (appearing for the accused) on the ground that it had not hean duly certified. This resulted in loga! argument which occupied practically the whole of the after-
noon.
London, Nov, 24. Explaining the "Barter" scheme for the restoration of Britain's balance of trade, at a meeting of the Merchants' Association of the United Kingdom, a speaker said that the system would be to adopt earmarked cheques.

Willing Party.
By virtue of that document, which was now in the possession of the French Courts of Justice, witness said he agreed to hand over the business to the accused and gave an undertaking to take no action whatsoever against, him. Amongat other things witness acknowledged, having apent over a Inlth of the firm's monies. He was a willing [party to that document,
Mr. Lo argued that it was com- mon law..
Mr. D'Almada, declaring that it was a principle of evidence, quoted Lord Buckmaster's vjows.

Mr. Lo: This is térrible. Buckmaster would be annoyed with my friend if he had heard himself quoted in the way Mr. D'Almada has.
Mr. Schofield's view was that there was no evidenco either way to show that the document was a true copy or otherwise. The witness,

Prior to the formulation of this document, he had told the accused that he would not be handing the reover, had not said that it was [business over on his mere statement a translation word for word. Mr. D'Almada: I agree. that he possessed the required power-of-attorney, and had himself merely says he got it from the law- Kone to the accused's Fronch | yer. solicitor and asked to be shown the document. The maitre told him that the accused had taken it away, On December 27, 1929, he handed the business, of which until then ho had been the manager, to the ac- cused,
Mr. Lo at this stage in the evid- ence handed in a document in Chi- nese stamped with what appeared to be the seal of the Indo-China administration, and asked witness if he would agree that that was an exemplification of the documenti now in the hands of the French Court.
Proof Demanded.
Discussion followed as to tho correct or usual procedure of hav- ing such copies authenticated by visas by Government or Consular representatives. Mr. D'Almada relied on the point that the docu- ment exhibited lacked such official authentication.
He Worship expressed himself as satisfied that the document needed authentication. There was not enough evidence he said that it was a true copy.
Mr. Lo submitted his further authorities, and the Magistrate then rèsorved the point.
The hearing was again adjourn-
Mr. D'Almada called for proof ofIed, until Thursday.
