THE CHINA MAIL.

.The coincidence and the connec- tion were remarkable, and still oven' in face of this, I still believe and contend that Mr. Fletcher was at. that mosting, acting in entire good faith towards us, but that all the same the subsequent inauguration of the Indemnity Act of 1923, wor started almost immediately after. wards with a view to block our claim and crumple our legal pro- ceedings.

Both Mr. Williamson and myself, took the guidance of Mr. Fletcher at the interview in ontire good faith, and acted upon same by spending our legal proceedings forthwith."

до

In short, these statements are to the effect that, immediately after legal proceedings were commenced, Mr. Fletcher approached the ownerĄ with a request for the stay of such proceedings with a view to amicable settlement; and the words used are capable of being under- stood as conveying a suggestion that Mr. Fletcher deliberately proposed the stay in order to give the Hong- kong Government time to prepare the Indemnity Ordinanco,

Accuracy Challenged. The accuracy of these state- ments by Mr. Moller and Mr. Bur kill may perhaps be called in ques tion.

There is first the use of the word "immediately," with its obvious inference that the legal proceedings caused Mr. Fletcher or the Hong- kong Government soine perturba.i tion. Mr. Moller rightly says that the proceedings wore commenced in December, 1919, and he has sup. plied the date of Mr. Fletcher's alleged request in the passage be- ginning Surely Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher cannat forget the inter- view."

The interview took place

on the 23rd August, 1920, and Mr. Moller's "immediately" resolves it

elf into a period of more than eight months.

The second point is the statement that Mr. Fletcher approached the, owners with a view and a request to stay proceedings. Mr. Fletcher did not approach the owners. The owners approached him. The evi- dence on this point is as follows :-- Mr. Fletcher to the Hon. Mr. F. H. Sharp. K.C. Counsel for the Hongkong Government: 34tb August, 1920.

"Moller and Williamson tell me that Turner from Deacon's office re- presented to them yesterday that you were anxious to get on with the *Wollowrn" case immediately.
