Sutcliffe's Patience., Sutcliffe can safely be referred to as England's most reliable bats- man. Though he is regarded as a slow batsman, it is he who paves the way for later batsmen to score at a faster pace. He is the rock up against which the Aus- tralian attack is broken. It is an. excellent sign to see the great Yorkshireman commence unenter- prisingly-it spells no good for the opponents' bowling.
Whysall had the misfortune to be sent to the wicket at a very critical moment--the few overa before lunch. A quick wicket then might have led to a further downfall. He withstood the re- newed efforts of the tourists and lived to make 13. Though he proved a disappointing batsman, he must be given credit for the way in which he stood up to the extra-fast deliveries of Wall and,

The Shanghai Liquidators in the hearing now before us have prac tically discarded all their pre- vious arguments and introduced, as far as they are concerned, an entirely new argument, namely that Paris is the head office and that the surplus should be, handed over to the Paris Liquida- tor. I say "a new argument as far as they are concerned" be- cause the point does appear to have been touched upon by others according to the Judge's notes and his judgment, Mr.. Jenkin, on behalf of the London Creditors, having said, "no prin- cipal liquidation. All are branch liquidations," and Mr. Alabaster, on behalf of the Official Receiver, having said "Paris branch com- |pleted liquidation." The learned Chief Justice in his judgment says "it is stated in the petition.
