Re-examined by Mr. Mackcond-The market | office, his work having been confined to Police prics of cartridgei fuotusted era siderably,
Mr. Macken asid bis first objection was thas the evidence of the plaintiff slowed that they wore noting for the Chinese Government, and therefore the suit should have boen ontorte in the name of the Chinesa Government. Ho objected in the corond place that there was no thing to show that Shi, the second plaintiff, was ayllerisal to ane, axept that his numo hul beu
lied.
His Lordship and he was not prepared to say that was necessary.
Mr. Mackeon eåld under the mireznatansan öff the saso le contended that there was nothing to show that the plaintiffs had stained any damage by the on-fulfillment of the contract. It appeared that Mr. Grommann had stated his in- ability to carry out the contract about ten dayı | after it was signed, which was some time in Aagust, but it was never shown that any at temat had been made by the plaintiffs or their agant to purchase any cartridges. The agout had asked Mr. Jackson in September at what price he could sell cartridges of this description, and Mr. Juckson and given him the prics of $1.80 por thousand, which, as far as ho knew, was the prio ho could get them at. There was no ovidones that the agent bought then, or in fact modo any attempt to get any other cartridges, or that any damage kad been sustained.
His Lordship said the measure of drinagar Web anally supposed to be the difference betwcon the amount contracted for, and that for which they could be bought.
Mr. Mackowa said the meature of damages is the differones at the time of the broach. The plaintiffs ought to have shown on attempt at once to supply the cartridges Mr. Grosman bad failed to obtain, but they had not done! 38, and had only asked Mr. Jackson the price Which Ea could supply them som" timo aktor. wanis. The measure ofdamages oughtto batakan on the date of the branch of anatet, ten days after it was signed, not at any later date, as there wore great Huvinations in the market. He con tended that the damages in this case onght to be merely nominal. The plaintiffs had brought forward no proof of the market price of these cartridges at the time of the bread. When the contract was entered fata they were at a price which would have enabled the fullment of the contract, bet cocording to Mr. Jackson's evidence they were only procurable at a higher price in Septembar, which showed that the market was Buutunting...
The Attorney-General submitted that it was sbandeatly proved there was a contract which
