truth. I shall show when I came to a considera- tion of the evidence that the defendat had knowledge of and kept slicnco us to frets, the disclosure of which would certainly have pre- vented the plaintiff from purchasing shares in the Himalaya Bank. Meto silence is vos fisud except when the duty of disclosure is laid upon the party keeping alience, and that duty, as I have already held, is not laid upon the defendant to the present case. It will thus be seen that the question to be considered in this case is not what the defendant's knowledge was at the time that he sold his shares to the pislatiff, but what active gutarepresentation be made or caused to be made. I now come to the consideration of the evidence. The misrepresentations alleged by the plaintiff are of two kinds: firstly, the falas balance-sheets ised half-yearly before the date of the purchase of the shares. Secondly, the false sistement made to the plaintiff by the defendant by word of mouth The plaintiff has said in the coume of his evidence there were six matters lefleenclog his mind at the time of agreeing to the purchase, vis

There is fighting going on at Cheong-lock between the town people and the neigh bouring country people, and has been in pregress, off and on. for some time past.

I am not sure that the plaintiff was, as a matter of fact, actually influenced by all these consideratins, but he might have been, and I will deal with them." The judge found, on a review of the evidence, that the defendant was not responsible for all these maiters. There was, for instance, no pront of any consplscy between him and the other directors 10 aisik him in getting rid of his shares. The court, however, held it proved that the balance sheets, at any rate from 1886, were talse, and that in regard at least to the balance sheet for the goth June, 1890, the defendant knew that it was false.

amount of wrifice. I am not prepared to say that the whole mention of Kesari Mini (the native who was supposed to be willing to sell shares was misleading, but it is afgnificant that although originally named as a witness he was not called, It is certals that the defendant took advantage of Kesari Mai's real or fictitious willingnus to sell his shares in order to divert attention from Lasking at the his own fatention to da sa knowledge which the defendant had in his mind of the affairs of the Bank. I cannot balp conclud- ing that he tried to avert the suspicion which

Jals would naturally fall on the himself, director, by representing first that other people wished to sell. The question of what actual verbal representations were made by the defendant is a very difficult one to decide. I do not belleve the plaintiff's statements on the subject. The plaintiff's evidence all through consists rather in the patting forward of argu- ments that in the statement of facts. But looking to the ordinary course of human conduct it sems Impossible that all the negotiations between the parties passed without any mention being made, or any question asked with regard to be condition of the Bank. And when that mention was made or that question asked, it is Impossible that the defendant, with the know ledge he possessed of the Bank's position, did not either make some fraudulent misrepresents. tion or avoid-making it by some fraudulent arti fice. There is a mass of evidence on the record which is not directly relevant, and with which it is not necessary for me to deal. It has been unciul perbert, as affording materials from which to judge the complexion of the transaction between the parties which is in question, bas possibly been usefal to the parties for ulterior pu poses. I consider the greater part of it relevant, but it is dificult to check such exa- mination as to credit. For the defendant it was sisted at one Hme that he wished to show that

I did sell my shares knowing this. The questions referred to were list drawn up by the directors to Moss's absence, to be answered by him on his retorn. They were drawn up between May and September 1800. The manner in which the questions are framed shows this. Let me take examples

the plaintiff was not entitled to relief on the ground that he had bluself subsequently sold Himalaya Bank shares. He has very properly abandoned that position. It is as much as to say I the theft of B's umbrells, if that A is justified B. subsequently steals C.'s. There is one polat, however, to the dealings between the parties which took place after the sale of the shares, on which the defendant reli-s as abowing that he made no mi representation to the plaintiff. It is statement made in a letter of the 4th March 1890 to the defendant. You were gale right in selling, and I cannot blame you if the worst comes to the worst. In commenting on this under the disadvantage of being obliged to consider their own ellents hoseerable mes, and their opponents scoundrels. Il labour under no such disadvantage, and I may say, no such delusion. I wonder that the defendant baunot con- aldered that justification by a person of the character aucribed by him to the plaintiff is no such great thing after all. The constraction I pat up on the statement. Is that the p'alatiff applauded the defendant'a sagacity in taking advantage of his shares: the dishonesty of the transaction did not strike the plaintiff: why should it? He was doing exactly the same thing himself. It was successful piece of dishonesty which he was anxious to Imitate.

AN APPEAL

THE SUPERIORESS of the ITALIAN CONVENT, CAINE ROAD, begs most respectfully to APPEAL to the Residents of Hongkong and the Cat Ports, for their ind patronage and support, and desires to state that the will be pleased to receive orders for all kinds of NEEDLE WORK

In passing the Bill giving the Pa Leung Kok a subsidy, and transferring the powers previously vested in the Registrar-General' under the 1890 Ordinance, the Legislative Council of Hongkong has certainly run counter to the main body pi opinion in the colony. We would certainly recognise the good bliberto done by the roetely; but to transfer, to the way that has been done by the Ordinance, all the safeguards hitherto held by the Registrar. General, who now becomes only a member of the governing committee of the society, and Hlable to be outvoted on every occasion, scarcely Terms wise. The Hon. T. H. Whitehead has taken up a strong position in the matter, and has addressed the Secretary of State to disallow or amend the Ordinance. It is inadvisable that the Registrar-General should be of the govern Ing body he might bear-office chairman, with * power of velo, sabject to appeal to the Governer. But this officer should be outside the ordinary committee, have zo vote, and merely watch as the representative of the Government, which bestows $20,000 a year to assist in the good work of the society in rescuing women and children. We do not whb to see the society drift into the power wielded at one time by the Tung Wab Hospital, and care must also be taken in this direction. We trust the Secretary of State will bestow the necessary attention on the Bill, for it has been drawn and passed in too Indefinite, and loose a manner, and confers a political status on a body which should extat purely for philanthropic considerations.

MISREP"FSENTATION BY A

BANK DIRECTOR.

Mr. H. R. Hopklas, Sabordinate Judge of Dehra Doon, has lately heen engaged in hearing a sult in conection with the Isto Himalayan Bank, which has excited much interest in the North-West Provinces. The plaintiff, Mr. Macauliffe, a retired member of the Indian Civil Service, aued Mr. Charles Wilson, a director of the late Himalaya Bank, for Rs. 20,950, being the price paid by the former to the latter for 147 abares in the Himalaya Bank together with Interest up to date. The plaintiff alleged that he was induced to purchase these shares, he being already a abareholder in the Bank, in September and the following months of 1890, by fraudulent mist'epresentations made to him by the defendant, bath directly and by means of the fanne of false balance-sheets to which he was a party. The defndant denied the allegations made by the plaintiff

The case was beard at considerable length, and was warmly contested. Is delivering Judgment, Mr. Hos kiss said "The agreement between the parties was that the defendant should transfer to the plafatiff certain shares in the Company in question, The result of that transier

VII. Will Moss suggest scheme for the Bank to recover this large account! This debt alone, it may be noticed, amounted to more than three-quarters of the Bank's Capital.

Will the manager explain why and on what secarity he allowed this large account to a man who he krew had not a penny in the world, and was struggling to make a living by selling cakes and sweets? Will the manager show the means to recover this money?'

"It would require a vay ngaire mind to regard as otherwise than bad a debt af over Rs. 20000 to a man who appears to have been fa the poallion of an itinerant cakes vendor."

Other transactions of the same kind were also pointed out. Regarding the sale of the Himalaya Bank sbarcs to the plalatiff the facts are peculiar. In the course of an interview "the fudge says, #plaintiff mentioned that he was selling shares in the Crown Brewery Co. Conversion also took place admittedly as to what the plaintiff should do with the money he got from the grie of his Crown Brewery sharts, and in what he shop'd invest it. The form the conversation them took is stated by the plaintiff to be this. He asked the defendant what would be the stamp duty payable on the transfer of 100 Crown Brewery shares. The defendant then said: You have been buying shares in the Himalaya that you are getting money, I know a nailve was would sell yon cheap. Defendant said he would let the plaintif know the native's name
