Ng Kai Wab, prior to Bling his petition, requested a Catholic missionary to communicate with the magistrate explaining the facts of the case, tantioning that Ng is a Roman Catholic coast, and requesting the magistrate to re- cover the debt.

The Magistrate on receipt of Ng's petition follows Both the sucitat replied as and the present law says debts must be paid by all people.
