No Binding Agreement On Client Argues Counsel

The contention that there was no agreement binding on his client and that the evidence given by the plaintiff showed that the case "was utterly misconstrued from the beginning" was put for- ward by Defence Counsel in a claim for $11,483.78 heard at the Supreme Court this morning before Mr Justice E. H. Williams.

The sum in question formed the balance of a loan for $18,000 on a Chinese borrowing note, which plaintiff claimed had been guaranteed by the defendant.
