DEVELOPMENT

IN BREACH CASE

Mother Takes Over From Counsel

the

Mrs R. F. Franklin, through the indulgence of Court, assumed the role of Counsel for the plaintiff at Kow- loon District Court this morning, as Corporal David McComish, who is being sued for having broken his promise to marry her daughter, continued his evidence.

MF D. A. L. Wright, Counsel for the Corporal, and Col. L. N. Morris, who is also a defendant in the civil action, alleging that he had procured his subordinate to break his word, raised no objection to Mrs Franklin conducting the litigation.

Mrs Franklin was permitted to conduct the case because of an unexpected turn of events, Mr Brook A. Bernacchi who was Counsel for the plaintiff, said this morning that he wished to withdraw because he had no instructions to carry on with the case.

He explained that the late Mr M. A. da Silva was the original solicitor who received instructions to act on behalf of the plaintiff, Miss Gloria Franklin, who is suing through her father, as her next friend.
