'DOESN'T GO DOWN.

"From first to last" declared the Puins Judge (Mr. J. R. Wood) at the Summary Court this morning. "I don't believe any of the witnesses." His Honour made the observation in con nection with a case in which a ship cook named Wong Fook claimed from the Kung Tai firm and Cheng Cheuk,

maging partner, a sum of $80 being money deposited, or alter-1 natively, money lent..

For the plaintiff Mr. C. P. Mason said that Wong Fook was formerly a cook on the s.s. “China.” On July 11 he deposited 480 with the defendants and got a receipt for it. They had afterwards refused to give him back.: the money. The question was on to whether it was a receipt far a' deposit * or for repayment of a loan.

"There was a brief debate as to whether or not the receipt, being anstamped, could be used as evidence. Mr. Mason eubmitted that he could tender it, but Hr. Vaux, who appeared for the defence, took the opposite view. Mr. Faux urged ther it was the plaintiff's duty, to get it stamped but Mr. Mason argued that the defendants were "criminally habië." His Honour settled the point by de- finitely rejecting the document as evidence.

Mr. Mason: May I stump it now? His Honour: No, you must present your case without it.
