A TORN NOTE.
SUCCESSFUL CLAIM FOR
$1,860..
SUPREME COURT CASE.
A torn promissory note formed the subject of a Supreme Court action yesterday when Tsang Shing, building contractor of, 14, Fook Shaw Lane, sued Fung Cheuk-son, dentist, 166 Wellington Street for
$1,860.
Mr. C. G. Alabaster appeared for plaintif and defendant was not legally represented.
TAXICAB LICENCES.
THE QUESTION OF WHO IS RESPONSIBLE.
POLICE COURT QUERY,
Who is the licensee of the taxleab which knocked down the 5-year-old daughter of Sub-Inspector and Mrs. Phillips? This is the question which is now engaging the atten- tion of Mr. W. Schofield at the
Kowloon Magistracy.
Last week the case was adjourned; when a Chinese. from the Kowloon Taxicab Depot denied that he was) It was stated in evidence that the licensee, and claimed that Mr. when defendant agreed to pay same

merely leased the taxicabs for ser vice, and have nothing, more to do with them. They had nothing to do with the running of the taxis, and the drivers were not employed by them, therefore they could not be responsible. The man who was in Court the previous week, Mr. Rowe suggested, was the respon- sible party.

PRIVATE ROAD TRAFFIC.
Having secured the advice of the Crown Solicitor, Mr. W. Schofield yesterday gave his decision at the Kowloon Magistracy on the ques- tion of lability for violations of the Traffic Regulations on private roads. His Worship found that the fact that the road was private did not deatroy the case.
The question arose in the case in which Mr. W, Treskin prosecut
