AN EMIGRATION CASE.

In the case in which Chaung Kwok Won sued Chan Heung Youk for $700 money paid for services to be rendered which were not rendered, Mr. Pellook addressed the jury, sonísoding Mr. C. F. Dixon, of Mosers Hastings and that the Bank not having received the money Hastings appeared for the plaintiff, and Sir was not liable. If a compradore could bind his Henry Berkeley, K., instructed by Mr. G. employer or his firm by entering into a contractelmes, appeared for the defendant, without consulting his employers it would be patting the compradore in the talpan's seat.

Hie Honour You are puting it that there is a duty for him to go to the European boa??

Mr. Pollock-If ho wishes to make things absolutely safe he must do so,

Mr. Pollock submitted certain questions which he thought shakl be submitted to the jury, the chief of which was-Did the defendants' compradore receive the money from the plain tiffs agent and, if ne, did he ruceive it for the bent fit of the bank or for his own beuçût !

Mr. Slade maintained that the money did go into the coffers of the bank. It was received by the person authorized to receivo the money of the Bank. The questions he suggested wore materially different to those of his friend. The first one was- Did the plaintiff's agent pay over to the bank the money stated for the purpose" of ita being transmitted to Shanghai? The second was algo important-Dil the pliștiff in making this payment follow the ordinary course of business between himself and the defendants?

It was stated that the $709 was paid to defendant on behalf of certain men who were guaranteed by him a safe lauding in the United Stator. If they were not allowed to land the money as to be refunded. The men proceeded to Shanghai whence the voyage to America was to commence, but at that port the defendant's agent who had accompanied them
