The Committee of the Club have broken condition by paying to Chik Sung Ling the value of the Erst prize without the intervention of the Sweep Leader or Sweep Member and without the produe tion of the ticket or the endorsement of the ticket. They have broken condition 4 in that they have paid out to Chik Sung Ling without proof by the Sweep Member who sold the ticket that he sell ticket No. 03056 to Chik Sung Ling and they have paid out the prize money with- out any adequate indemnity. The in- demnity or guarantee given is merely a protection for the guaraators and no one else, and was prepared with an entire disregard for the rights of any other per- soo, and this notwithstanding our letter of the 1st July, 1923, which is as fol-

In accordance with this letter I at tended at the Secretary's office of the Chinese Club with Mrs. Chan and Mr. Ng Quinn at the time stated and found the office in charge of a clerk. Later, Mr. ME Lo, the Club Solicitor, attended and stated (inter alia) that the Club had not got the money.

Had the indemnity heen an adequate indemnity as provided in Rule 4 of the Sweep Regulations of the Chinese Club and drawn with a view to the lost ticket being produced for payment, as asked for, in my firm's letter of the 21st July, 1923, it would have protected the owner of the ticket in case the ticket was found, as it has been, and the money could have | been obtained by the Chinese Club from the Tabaqueria Filipina, the Guarantors, and paid to Mrs. Chan
