Mr Otto Kong Sing waa for plaintiff, And Mr J. Hastings for the defendant Company,

The elof Chinese clark in the Registrar's Office was alul on behalf of the defence to produce a polition, and was questioned by Mr Otto Kong Sing as follows:

You are well acquainted with the marri- ace customs of the Clinose? Well, I know attle shout them.

As for so your knowledge got can you my whether or not when a widow maxlen a man she becomes that man's kitfat -- Strictly speaking according to law they should both bo unmurtied before to be n kitfat.

Would a widow marrying a man hecoine his awful wife 1, she would be his rail wife.

Would it be necessary on a man mastry- ing a widow forthe widow to be accomodat ed with a marriage chair 3-That depends. In Canton according to tunadain custom they should have a marriage chair, but in the country a lot dispense with the chair.

Mr AF. Aucott, shipping clerk to Mosary Jardine, Matheson, and Co., gener ataungers of the defendant company, said the first intimation they haul of the claim was on July 31st.

Mr Hirings said that was moi true;) there had been identideation by a causin But even if the fact of the marriage were established that would not assist plaintif, han defendants' case was that the woman was marries before.

After further evidence, Mt Blastinge subi mitted that plaintiff bed failed in satisfy the court that he was the legal husband of this woman. It was quito close that if the woman was ever drowned the body had not been found.

His Lordship gave judgment for the defendant Company on the simple ground that there had been proof of a previous Jarriage which had never been annulled.
