As we have' tready stated, the true positions of the litigants were not made clearly apparent at the original bearing of the suit, and as the Judge had evidently grave doubts as to the legal bearing of the case, he very properly requested to be supplied with the documentary evidence requisite to prove Mr. DA SILVA's state- ments that he was merely an agent who had practically advanced money to the plaintiff and took the case to azizandum. His lordship delivered judgment yester day, holding that Mr. DA SILVA'S position was very different to that of the plaintiff in READ T.
