divided between two trades-the trade of selling electrical fittings and the trade of barber. The woman who had attended to represent the tenant firm in this Court was a principal of both firms. He found that the landlord gave the tenant due notice to quit which expired on the 26th day of the Chinese fifth moon. The tenancy was a monthly tenancy for NEW CRK, July 31.the moons of the Chinese year und The New York Werid, explaining the Northcliffe controversy, declares the rent was payable monthly. For that a New York Tintes reporter sought an interview with Lord Northcliffe the landlord Mr. F. X. D'Almada on the Irish situation. Mr. Steed telephoned the request to Lord Northcliffe had claimed that the tenant had who replied, "You know my mind, Steed, give the gentligan my views and brought himself within sub-section 1. sub-sub-section b of section 4 of the look over his article." After a formal interview the report asked for an amplification of Mr. Steed's views and Mr. Steed supporting these would not be published, emphasised the King's earnestness to secure peace in Ireland and then In order to give the interviewer a background to enable him better to understand the situation quoted an imaginary convertition as an filustra tration of what the King might have had in his mind. It appears that the reporter made an error believing the words were anadhial quotation.

BRASWEATER. STEED SAYS

New-Yors, August 1.

Mr. Steed, questioned with regard to his alleged interview with the New York Times said that direct statements were attributed him which he had not made. He pointed out that the possible Irish settement could be directly attributed to the King's speech at Belfast. The King was equally solicitous of all his subjects and nothing would rejoice him more than to see peace in Ireland. That alone was the sense of his quite informal talk with the representative of the New York Times.

First that the tenant had failed to tender the rent due in respect of the fifth moon of his tenancy on due date; secondly, that the teasut failed to vacate the premises after the expira:] tion of the notice to quit in accordance with the terms of his tenancy. Ang to the list ground His Honour found as a fact that the temat offer the rent due in respect of the fifth moon to the landlord's agents on the fourth day after it became due. The second contention that the tenant was bound by the terms of his tenancy to vacate

the expiry of his notice was in His Honour's opinion-sound, and on that ground the landlord was entitled to an order for ejectment to be made. "But this." His Honour said in conclusion "does not end the matter. In section 4, sub-section 3 of the Ordinance, a very wide discretion is given to the Court in these proceed- ings to make any order as between landlord and tenant that may seem at the time equitable. I have not, therefore, only to see whether the landlord is legally entitled to the order claimed, but I have further to con- sider whether in equity the tenant should be ejected from these premises. In considering this I have to notice that the object of the Ordinance is to protect residents of premises from being turned out of their habitations. It is not to protect finas and trading concerns from eviction from premises
