SHIP BROKER SUED.

NON PAYMENT FOR STEVEDORE WORK

CHINESE COMPANY SUCCEEDS.

At the Summary Court yesterday before Mr. Justice Wood, the Ming Kee Com pany of 3, On Lan Street, sued Mr. Finn Malu, ship broker, of China Building for 2900, being the amount agreed upon for stevedore work on the ss. President Cleveland on September 3rd last year. Plaintiffs also claimed costa

Mr. Finn Mam claimed for $300 against the Company for professional services rendered.

Mr. J. O'Donoghue, for the plaintiffs, said that his clients had contracted with the defendant for the work to be donu at the rate of 10 cents per ton. That was the contract rate. The work, however, was never completed, and at a subse quent interview "Mr. Fian Malm agreed, to pay $900 Plaintiffs were prevented from Enishing the work by the Dollar Line itself. At that time the plaintifa bad dealt with about 200 tons which work- ed out at 8171.

His Lordship asked why it was agreed to pay $200 when the work done should only have been 3171. -

Mr. O'Donoghue replied that the coolies had to be paid for the whole day. The plaintiffs bad actually paid $400 that day. Continuing.r. O'Donoghue and that when defendant was approached, he said he had not received anything from the Company and plaintiffs would have to wait. He agreed to pay $200.

Air. Finn Mal said that he had begun business some 10 months ago after having been 22 years on the sea. Plaintiffs con- tinually bothered him to secure the stevedore business of the Admiral When the Oriental and Dollar lines. business was eventually secured, plain tiffs did not help at all. Had the coolies done their work properly the business would have been retained, and plaintiffs would have made from $5,000 to 210,000 a year No one from the plaintiff com pany went on board to help in superia tending.

Plaintiff stated in evidence that only 200 tons were handled on the vessel. The charge was 10 cents per ton leas

er cent. discount. tr. Finn Malm oter- ed $200.

His Lordship said that, it seemed to Sim to be reasonable to find for plaintiff's for 2162.45, that being 8171 less 5. per cent. discount. Mr. Finn Malm agreed.

In regard to his claim fer $300 for pro- fessional services rendered, he gave de tails of such services. These the Chinese Grm denied.

Judgment was given for the Ming. Kee Company.
