The general manager also gave him a letter of recommanda- tion to clienta, which he produced. On July lat witness went to work as usual, returning to the office at noon. He did not see the manager, bat the bookkeeper asked him if he had the letter he received on his appointment, Plaintiff said he had not got it with him, and then the book- keeper told him it was the first of the month, and that they would not require his services further, as there was not enough work for hima. When he saw the general manager that gentle- man told him the same story. Witness had introduced the Company's beer to Welsmann's Bertoloni's and the Matus? Stores, and other Arms hat promised to give him orders..

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28TH, 1969.

His Lordship said he had seen'a subpœna addressed to the Registrar calling upon him to produce the Judge's notes. The proceeding was to apply for a certified copy.

Mr. Dixon-I have the exhibits. I don't mind about the notes.

Plaintiff said he was the manager of the Po On firm, but was not and had never been a partner. On July 7th the bailiff and defendant called at the shop and asked for the master. Plaintiff said he had gone to a solicitor's office. The bailiff then seized the shop, and on defen- dant's instructions seized plaintiff, who was taken to jail, where he remained for about 24 hours. Witness was uncomfortable while he was there. He had no evening meal and could got no sleep, and was upset after coming out.

Cross-examined-Surely you're not going to deny that you are a partner in the Po On?- I'm not a partner.

But in the summary action you were held by. the Judge to be a partner-Truly, I'm not a

partner.

Kr. Smith-Your Lordship never held that he was a partner.

His Lordship-Having held be was a partner I cannot hold that he was not. I would drop that point.

Mr. Dixon stated that as soon as his client got judgment and issued 'execution ko told the bailiff to go to the shop and if he did not find sufoient security-that was, sufficient pro-

porty-to arrest the two partners. The bailif would go into the box and say there was not sufficient security, and he thereupon arvested the plaintiff. The plaintiff entered the shop while the bailiff was in possession. The bailiff handed him the writ of execution and asked him, "What are

Mr. Burns: No frozen caresses of pigs from Chinese ports have been imported into this country during the last 12 months. A packing-house and freezing establishment has, however, lately been constructed at Hankow, and a consignment from it of frozen pig carcases is expected to arrive here at the end of the present month. I have caused inquiry to information from the importing frm as to the ferding, killing, caring, and packing of the pigs. On arriving in this country the consign ment will become subject to the Public Health (Foreign Meat) Regulations, which I isased last read, and I hate asused communication to be to the medical officer of health of the port which the consignment is expected to arrive, with a view to securing that a strict examina.

His Lordship-I don't think you could have issued execution against the man.

Mr. Dixon-There is a provision in the Code. His Lordship-All you got was judgment against the Po On.. There is no finding as to who was or who was not a partner.

Mr. Dixon-The bailiff, on not fading sufficient security in the shop, arrested the plaintiff.

Mr. Dixon--The stock has not been sold Another partner came and paid the debt Proceeding, Mr. Dixon said the provisions on which he relied were section 23' of Bammary Jurisdiction Ordinance No. 4 of 1873, saction 371 of the Code and the Indian Civil Code soction 230.

Mr. Smith said it was not reasonable to put it

in the bailiff's hands to decide whether there was sufficient property in a shop. Taking away the liberty of a man was a very serious thing and ought not to be resorted to if there was any probability that it was not required.

His Lordship-Supposing yon had been in possession of proof that there was much more stock than was required to satisfy the judgment, then I think the arrest would have been made at the peril of the defendant in this action. He told the bailiff to arrest the plalatifï, and he is responsible. It seems to me that the stock here was not sufficient, `·
