SUPREME COURT.

Wednesday, 26th August.

IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION.

BEFORE MR. F. A. HAZELAND, PUISNE JUDGE.

ACTION AGAINST CITY PRINTING CO.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27TH, 1914.

Action was brought by Dor A, Wing & Company, stationers, of Queen's Road, to recover from the City Printing Co., Ltd., the sum of $38.98, for stationery supplied. Mr. P. S. Dixon (of Messrs. Wilkinson & Grist) was for the plaintiffs, and Mr. R. C. Faithfull represented the defendant firm."

His Lordship observed that he under- stood the dispute to be a question whether the stationery contract was with the limited or the unlimited Company,

Mr. Dixon said that the goods repre senting the amount in the claim were ordered from day to day by Mr. A. R. Ellis, of the City Printing Co. Payments were mado on, account from time to time, and letters wero continually written demanding payment of the balance. Eventually be received instructions to write to the City Printing Company pressing for payment. He received a reply that the amount due was $37, and not $45, as certain articles which had been returned had not been deducted. In this reply they promised to send a cheque on being informed that the amount. was right. This bore the signature City Printing Company, Ltd., A. R. Ellis, Secretary. That was the first intimna tion the plaintiffs had received that the Company had been changed into a limited lability Company. Answering this letter, be Mr. Dixon) accepted the smaller amount offered, but received no further communication. Mr. Faithfull then wrote him saying that he acted for the City Printing Company as from 1st January, 1934, but did not take over the liabilition of the firm, The signboard "City. Printing Company" remained until about three weeks ago, when the word "Limited was added. This, he submitted, was simply a ruse by the Company to avoid payment of its debts, His Lordship (to Mr. Faithfull)-How do you get over the letter which you Mr. Faithfull-I don't want to get over it. I am prepared to prove every word I say there,

wrote ?

Edward Mow Fung, the managing partner of the plaintif firm, said that the goods were ordered by A. R. Ellis, as Secretary. He heard nothing of the change of the Company at the end of the year. He did not see a notice in the papers to the effect that the partnership between A. R. Ellis and R. J. Judah had been dissolved, and he could not remember seeing the word "Jad." pasted on the City Printing Company's signboard.

Mr, Faithfull said it was necessary for him to get A. R. Ellis in order to prove his case. He was a difficult man to get hold of, but he understood that he was in the Colony, and was in the King's uniform on active wrvice with the Volunteers.

The Court adjourned for an hour for Ellis to be produced on subpens.

On resuming, Mr. Faithfull said hat he could not find Ellis, but he learnt from the Volunteer Headquarters that he had to be on duty at Headquarters at 10 o'clock that night, and he thought he could arrange for bailiffs to serve him then. He could not serve him the pre- vious day because he did not know where he was. He was not residing in the Colony, and had no business here. He was the manager of a cinema show Canton. He would have to produce bin and ask him why he wrote the letter. He

had no business to write it.

The bearing was adjourned until 3 q'clock on Friday afternoon.

It had been decided that the two Legations should enter Peking separately, and it was arranged that the Fronch should go in first. On the 26th the French Logation left Tungchow, and Dr. Rennie, with Mr. Brace's permission, accompanied the French Legation to the capital. The journey was without Dr. Rennie was senior medical office of incident until about 3.30 when the shaft the British force in North Chink, and of Madame de Bourboulon's carriage first surgeon to the British Legation, and broke, after descending sume heavy to the French Legation also.

entertaining accounts of the events of the time. They are written in journal form, and everything of current interest was jotted down for the writer's own edifica tion, but afterwards published. In the first of these two books Dr. Rennie describes the march on Peking and the sacking of the Yuenmingyuen, and it is quite certain that if there had been any English lady with the column he would have noted the fact. In the second book he describes the journey of the newly appointed British Minister and the Legation staff to Peking.

Arrived in Paking Rennie notes the goings and comings of everybody, great or small, lawfully and unlawfully. He notes the arrival and departure of men like Mr. Hart, Mr. Meadows, Dr. Lock- hart and others on their lawful occasions; and he records the unauthorized arrival and almost immediate deportation of other visitors.

We have seen that Rennie jots down even the exits and entrances of a French indy's maid. The next lady be mentions is on 1st April, and we read as follows:

Had any other lady arrived in Peking, British or otherwise, between 20th March and 1st April, Rennie would certainly have recorded the fact. It is, therefore, fairly safe to conclude that Mrs. Reynolds, who was housekeeper to the British Legation, was the first English lady to enter Peking.

MONGOLIAN MEAT IN FAR EAST,

The country that once most contributed to the meat requirements in the Priamuy district was Australia, which sent in large quantities, mostly for the use of the soldiers. But, says a, St. Petersburg paper, though Australian meat is good and convenient, it is too dear, and the Meritens, of the French Legation, had demand for it has fallen off.
