The appeal being on a question of law, the following case was stated for the opinion of the Court:-

1. By a contract dated 25th March, 1808, the Plaintiff Soo Suai and one Peng Yam, who is alio Plaintiff in this suit.by the Official Trustee in Bankraptey, agreed with the defendants to build seven houses upon Kowloon Inland Lot No. 540 at and for the price therein stipulated and the Defendants agreed to pay to the plain- tiffs from time to time meh same as should be certified as dus by the architects employed by the Defendants to superintend the erection of the said houses.

2. Soo Sum and Pang Yam were partners for the purpose only of carrying out the said contract and as such partners assumed and used the name of the "Sing Kee contractors firm."

3. On the Urd February, 1890, one Chan Yiu Ting recovered judgment in the Supreme Court Summary Jurisdiction, against Pang Yam for the sum of $1,000 and costs.

The first question in the stated case must therefore, His Lordship held, be answered in the negative and that being so, the Judgment in the Court below must be reversed.
