Ho Lap and another Teaug Shun Yee, claim $1821 and Lum Reen. Tasog Shun fee, claim $20. Elis Lordship delivered the following judgment to-day —–—–—

There is no doubt that these pour people relied on the high standing of the Yasa Fat shop as a security that the contract would be carried out Ho Ah Lap had no authority to pledge as it were the credit of this Bong, as he knew. It was a wilful misrepresentation for which he fe liable, or it was a representation made as if it were true about the authority given by the Yaen Fat shop in this matter, when it was not true, which in law amounts to the same thing.

The plafatiff must be non-multed; costa given in both cases.
