A well-known and popular Chinese actress, Pak Kwong, was named as one of the two opponents in an application for eviction which commenced before Mr. W. H. Latimer in the Tenancy Tribunal to-day. The proceedings were brought by Hoi Ying, owner of 12A Humphreys Avenue and residing on the first floor of the premises against Joseph Aloysius Wells Withers, tenant of the ground floor, and Pak Kwong, his alleged sub-tenant. After evidence, the Tribunal held that there was no sub-letting by Withers and dismissed the land- lord's application.
