CASE.

SUIT FOR NON-DELIVERY.

In the Summary Court to-day, before Mr. Justice J. R. Wood, the suit of Kam Hing Lung, plaintiff, against Shing Lee Firm, defendant, was introduced.

Mr. Lea Longinotto, appeared as Counsel for plaintiff, and Mr. M. H. Turner, as Counsel for defendant.

Plaintiff's claim is for $457.50 for to deliver to breach of contract plaintiff 250 cases of timplates. It appears that the defendant firm sold to plaintiff the cargo in question. buying it in turn from an American firm, Messrs. Getz Bros. & Company. of Hongkong, which has connections in America and sells American goods on contract. All of the details of the transaction were admitted on both sides, except the facts that the plain- tiff Chinese firm knew how the goods were to be obtained, and that the defendant Chinese firm had stipulated in his contract, or had made it that known

the plaintiff' to

references to case by making various clerical error, ia papers filed in connection with the case, which errors were admitted and accepted for correction by Mr. Tumer. Counsel for plaintiff stated that considerable pondence had been gone into by Getz Brothers in explaining to the defendant in this suit the reason for non-delivery of the goods, due to strikes and unsettled labour condi riors in America.

COTTES-

Plaintiff claimed to have lost by the failure of the cargo to arrive in accordance with the terms of the Chinese contract, on account of his beving obliged himself to deliver the goods in turn to a Swatow firm, which transaction had however, of On account been settled.

appears plaintiff's solicitor, Mr. J. H. Gardiner, wrote to the defendant firm, claiming damages on account of non-delivery of the goods.

In the contract of the European Erm with defendant, the former pro- tected itself, as is said to be custo mary with European firms, Ey the insertion in the contract of a strike clause. In the Chinese contract be tween plaintiff and defendant, there appears to have been the stipulation that the Chinese contract was subject to regulations of foreign frms." be Counsel for plaintiff stated would argue that the transaction between defendant and a European firm had no relation to the plaintiff. He set forth several points which he said he expected, counsel for the defendant would argue. He asked that it judgment were given for plaintiff, on account of errors in dates that the amount be settled by adjust- rent between himself and counsel for defendant.

He stated that there was nothing to be added to the case for plaintiff, but that he was introducing a witness in order that counsel for the defen dant might be given opportunity to cross examine him.
