Kemp, Mr. Justice Wood and Com- mander E. D. Brooke, R.N., and Lieut.-Comdr. Rugyard-Halproan, R.N. (Naval Assessors) yesterday heard the opening of the apponi of the Nippon Ynsen Kaisha against a judgement of Sir Joseph Kemp in favour of the China Navigation Company,

The appeal calls to mind the collision between the Toyooka Maru (N.Y.K.) and the Kiangsu (C.N.S.S. Co.) which occurred off Kowloon Dock Paint on the muru- ing of March 22, 1931. As a result of this the China Navigation Co. laimed 840,000 from the N.Y.K. while the latter replied with a cross- nction for 840,554.

In the original trial Sir Joseph Kemp found in favour of the China Navigation Company for the full amount of the claim with costs while the clain of the N.Y.K. was dismissed. The two netions were triginally heard ennjointly fat were now taken together in the op- pral.

Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C., and Mr. F. C. Jenkin, K.C., instructed by Mr. M. M. Watson, appeared for the respondents while Mr. II. O, Sheldon instructed by Mr. E. S. C. Brooks represented the appellants.

Discrepancy in Evidence. There is a discrepancy in the evidence of the two masters at this stage," said Mr. Sheldon. "The enster of Toyooka Maru says when the Kiangsu came into sight, she was 200 feet ahead. Capt. Ritchie of the Kiangsu says when he first saw the Japanese boat, sho was

Mr. Sheldon went on to say that the main basis of the Chief Justice's Judgment against the Japanese ship was in paragraph five of that judgment which read:-

The cast is headed by Miriam Hopkins, Phillips Holmes, Irving Pichol and Wynne Gibson. Other favourites seen in support of those stellar luminaries are Josephine Dunn, Stanley Fields, Vivienne Osborne, Stangt Erwin, Robert Eminett O'Connor, Adrienne Ames And Claire Dodd.

The story deals with New York life as it falls about the ears of the eager, and pretty Miss Hop- kins, daughter of Pichel, a seua. tor from South Dakota who has always won political victories in his home state.
