FULL COURT.

PROPERTY MORTGAGE

SEQUEL.

An application for leave to ap peal to the Privy Council against a recent decision of the Full Court of Appeal was made yesterday before the acting Chief Justice (Mr. Justice Wood) and Mr. Justice: Jacks.

The appellant was Tsang Chuen, a partner in the Kam Chung Bank, 103, Queen's Road Central, the respondent being Li Po Kwai, of 1. Seymour Terrace, Hong Kong.

Plaintiff de- clared that he never intended his son to have any beneficial interest, that the money was never paid, and that his son did not know. of the assignment at the time..

After further discussion; their Lordships granted leave to appeal and fixed no time limit.

THE MISSISSIPPI'S-

"SNAG-BOATS.”

· KEEPING THE CHANNEL

CLEAR.

Playing dental surgeon to the Mississippi is one endless duty of Uncle Sam of which we hear little, says an article in Modern Mechanics.

The teeth are anngs-trees, debris, derelicts, and wreckage which lodge in the channel and hinder naviga dion.

Subsequently it was alleged that the son, whose whereabouts were unknown during the proceedings in 'Court, mortgaged the property to first defendant, Tsang Chuen, for Plaintiff asked for an order for re-assignment of the pro- perty to him free of the mortgage.

The case was heard by Sir Henry Gollan, who gave judgment` in favour of plaintiff. This decision was affirmed by the Full Court of Appeal at which Sir Peter Grain presided together" with Sir Joseph Kemp and Mr. Justice Wood. "In the present application for another appeal, Mr. C. G.

Jack Hylton, the British king of syncopated music, has been officially recognised by the Government of France. Word was sent to him re- cently that he has been made-with appropriate decoration-an "Of cier de l'Instruction Publique." This boxour is usaully given to pro fessors or teachers for long or dis- tinguished service in their pro- fessions. As far as it is known, this is the first official recognition of "Jazz"-10 art which the Franch admire, but which cludes them. Hylton's periodical tours with his band on the Continent are always successful. Hitherto, box- ever, he has only aimed to entertain his audiences. Now he will appear, in France at least, as an instructor of the public.
