CHINA'S PREBBING NEEDS.

A case which has aroused considerable local interest was heard before the Puiane Judge in the Summary Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court yesterday, when H. A. Law, second lieutenant in the 1st Batt, 5.0.Y.LI., sued M. F. Raymond for conditions contained in an offer made by the defendant during the course of his performance in the Theatre Royal. The court was crowded by military people and civilians, a considerable number of ladies aise boing present. N

Mr Reader Harris, from the office of Messrs. Wilkinaan and Grist, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. P. W. Goldring appeared for the defendant.

Me Goldring Before my friend opens I would like to state that I have advised my client that he has a defence in law, but he has instructed me not to take any points of law at all.
