They also ask for the return of the launch, and damages for its detention, alleging that the defendant, Mak Chun Loong (allegedly calling him self Ng Shing) mortgaged the launci to Dr. R.

A peculiar situation arose at the races held by the Bangkok Turf Club recently, when a bookmaker, who gives long odds for the nomi- nation of six, seven, eight or aine winners, was presented with a form by a man, who alleged that he had named seven winners, and was thus entitled to Tes 38,000.

The defendant in the case, cited as Mak Chun Loong, claims that he is Ng Shing himself. He maintain- ed this attitude when he was charged at the Criminal. Sessions in April last year.

Allegations of fraud and forgery were then made against him and he was acquitted of the charges.

He said that since the last adjournment he had been to the country to raise funds with which to pay for legal advice. his return" he had consulted solicitor in order to prepare his defence, but this had not been possible owing to the short time he had in which to do it.

Mr. Sheldon opposed the applica- tion, painting out that the defend- ant had had ample time to le his defence. Counsel also pointed out later that his Lordship allowed de- fendant to speak at the last hearing, which was a very generous conces- sion, as he had no right to speak without fling a statement of his

dotence.

L:

His Lordship pointed out to the defendant that witnesses had come from Canton, at the expense of money and time, to give evidence for the plaintiff. If an adjournment were granted, it would mean that de fendant would have to pay the extra costs. His Lordship decided to pro- ceed with the case, saying that if there were strong grounds, an ad- journment would be allowed later.

JUDGMENT GIVEN AGAINST

In the Supreme Court, Penang, on May 5, Mr. Justice Sproule gare judgment in the, third party issue between the Malay Siamese Pros pecting Co. and the Phin Soon Tia Dredging Co., in connection with the case in which Mr. A. J. King, a well-known mining engineer, sued the Malay Siamese Prospecting Co. for $12,000 odd as alleged, balance of salary due bim as managing director of the Phin Soon concern.

Mr. Terrell appeared, for the Malay Siamese Co. and Mr. Hume for the liquidator of Phin Soon.
