Collins and Flynn said that the plaintif had promised to let the matter stand over for three months,

Edward Collins, sworn, atated that he be longed to the Dook. Yard Police: McGuire had left the Colony and gone to England, He did not know McGuire was going away, He was dismissed from the force on the 20th of this month, MoGuire was a prisoner in the Dockyard at Kowloong, and was to be taken before the Superintendent in the morn- ing. Witness went to Sorabjee, and told him that if he did not at once take a sum mons oat against MoGuire, he would not have anything more to do with the promis- sory note, as he believed Meftuire was going to be dismissed from the force. A threaten- ing letter had been written by Sorabjee say ing that if Metuire did not pay it would be worse for them (Collins and Fiyan), McGuire had agreed to pay it at the end of the month, but had left the Colony.

Thomas Flynn gave corroborative dance.

Sorabjee (the plaintiff) was then examined. He said that he had paid only $75 to Meuire; the rest was interest. The reasor he did not summon MoGuire in January was that the defendants, Colline and Flynn, he had plenty of money.
