Mr. Wilkinson :-No, they still ile it the Kowloon godowns as they arrived. Capt.

The question therefore was whether the outside damage was enough, or whether the policy only covered the Insides for the plalails could not afford to open them and tamper with the wrappings if the leside alone was to be covered by the polley; yet he could not sell the goods at a proper price as they were. The policy stipulated that no claim for damage lay than five per cent of value, could be madej plaintiff contended that the damage to the wappings would probably amount to more than fire per

cent.

Mr. Francis:It is not a question of pro- bability, but of proof. If the plaintiff has no absolute proof of loss, then he has no case,

Mr. Wilkinson, sevening to the pleadings, said the defendants wanted the plaintiffs to sell the goods before claiming, and then claims on the loss, if any. That was Impossible,

C. J. Holiday (of Mesara, Holliday, Wine & Co. merchant-) stated that his fim did a large business in piece goods in which he himself had had a large experience.
