Sir,
(101
With reference to my letter of the 16th December
1931, the appeal in the action brought by the China
Navigation Co. Ltd. against H.M. Attorney General was
commenced on Monday, the 11th January 1932. After
argument, the appeal was adjourned on the 18th January
on the directions of the Court of Appeal who wished the
Admiralty and the War Office to furnish concrete
instances when, without authority based on statute,
payments had been received from any source, and
particularly from British subjects, in respect of
services performed. Both Departments furnished a
Memorandum supplying such instances and the appeal,
which was resumed on the 17th instant, was concluded
today, the Court reserving judgment.
