JUDGMENT FOR $28,800

AGAINST A SHIPDUILDER.

Judgment in the cass in which Tao Cheung Shi, a widow, riding at 162 Queen's Road West, suing as executrix of Troi Heung Po, deceased; proceeded against To Shing, a trader, of az Peel Street, to recover the sum of $8,000 money received, and $11,000 damages, was given by the Chief Justice (Sir W. M. Goodman) at the Supreme Court this morning. The Hon. li. E Pollock, K.C; instructed by Mr. F... L. Bowley, of Messrs. Dennys and Eowley, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. M. W. Slade, instructed by Mr. C.E. H. Boavis, of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist, represented the defendant..

His Lordship said:-This is an action brought by the executrix of the late Tsoi Heung Po against a shipbuilder named To Shing, claiming damages for the non-delivery of a small steam vessel, one of two which he had contracted to deliver to Taoi. The damages chimed amount to $42,Soo, namely 523 có, being the amount paid by Tsoi te To Shing be zween certain dates on account of the versel, Stz,000 representing the difference between $28,000 paid and $40,020 for which, it is alleged, the vessel, if delivarasi, according to contract, could have been sold by Tani, and $800, representing certain materials or fittings, not included, in the specification, paid for by Tsoi and used in the steam vessel, the value of which it is alleged that Tsoi lost because the vessel was nut delivered to him but to some- one else. It seems that one, Henry. Piry, Trading an H. Piry and Company, had acquired certain concessions from the French authorities at Kwong Chow Wan with regard to opium and other coinmodities, and wished to raise the necessary capital to utilize and develope those concessions, and to procure suitable steam Accordingly, he associated with vessels for pu.poses connected ther-with. himself three Chinese who could provide some ai test, of the money required, namely Chan Tuk Shang, Tse Lee Ching and Tsoi reang | Po, whom 1 will allude to as Taoi.

This being the state of things, the defendant, in my opinion, not caring who got the ships so long as he was paid for them, went to Mr. Dennys' office on October 7, 1901, and, according to the evidence of Mr. Dennys interpreter, Yam Kwan Un, as ed Mr. l'ennys to have the written contract with regard to the building of the two steamers made out in Tsoi's name. Next day, the defendant went again to Mr. Dennys' office with Teoi and Chan and they arranged, to have the agreement made in Tsoi's name, and not in Piry's. The original

discloses the urgent necessity that exists for some sort of surveillance over the native crews, who find berths on British vessels in this port. Such a state of affairs should have been remedied long ago; for, whether regarded as a means of facilitating the load- ing or discharging of cargo, or of improving the conditions of navigation, the control of the shipment of native crews in the Colony is a step which requires the urgent attention of the local legislature.
