In the Summary Court this morning before His Honour Mr. Justice Gomperts Paine Jadge, an action was brought by abostman of Cheungchau against a boat- woman of the same placo, in which the plaintiff claimed 8924 damager for bronch of contract of warriage.

behalf of Mr. Crowther Smith for the plain-

tiff, who bore witness to the fact that the defendsat bad promised to marry him on the 10th moon of last year, in consideration of which promise he had paid $119 to the go between. The go-between paid the money to the defendant, who subsequently cafused to carry oab har contract, and plaintiff now found that she was living with another man, and had given birth to a child.
