Judgment Given For
Widow In Court Litigation
To Fix Burial Place Of Former Chinese Premier
Judgment was given for the defendant with costs by the Chief Justice, Sin Atholl MacGregor, at the Supreme Court this morning, when the action brought by Tong Lao, eldest son of the late Mr. Tong Shao-yi, former Prime Minister of China, who sought a declaration that he, in preference to Wu Vi-jau, third wife of the deceased, was entitled to decide where the remains of the deceased should be buried, and for an injunction to restrain Wu Vi-jau from removing from the Tung Wah Hospital the coffin containing the remains of her late husband, was concluded.
His Lordship also ordered that the interim injunction granted pending the settlement of the case, be discharged.
