Mr. Potter--Then I will formally tender it now,
Mr. Sharp-But the opium has all gone long ago.
Mr. Potter went on to remark that one
of the points suggested was that they could not get rid of "Lec." He would say on behalf of "Lee," though there might be no preceedout for this, that "'Lee': had not the slightest ambition to remain. a prominent member of the directorate of the Yue Hing Company. Despite what he had done for the firm, all the work he had done he had been a slave he was now accused of fraud. That was the only result of his work-in-the past. And if the Company, was not wound up, and if Mr. "Kon" became its Managing Director and took Lee's" place, he was welcome to it. He could even initiate any proceed- ings he liked against "Leo" in the name of the Company, or in anybody else's name, and" Lee" would be quite prepared to meet Mr. "Kon" if he did so. But that was one thing Mr. "Koo" would not de;' he would not start proceedings himself, not even a petition." Koo" was full of admissions which they (appellante) had made, but when it came down to fighting them himself he would not do it; at least he had not done so up to the present. "Koo," added Mr. Potter, is on the horns. of a dilemma, and, whichever way he twists, one of the horns sticks into him." The President-I think they are a pick of liars, all of them.
Mr. Potter-If that is the view which your lordship takes it is enough for the mom at. At another stage of the case Mr. Potter' contended that the Court had no jurisdiction to wind up the Company just because there was a suspicion of fraud. Fraud had to be proved, and the Chief Justice in his judgment had not put it Eigher than a suspicion of fraud.
The hearing was further adjourned until to-day,
