MYSTERIOUS MURDER

IN HONGKONG.

On Saturday a tragedy occurred in the City by reason of which a charge of murder my he preferred against some, person or persons at present unknown. It appears that at noon

Deacon, Looker and Deacon, appeared for the Mr. II. E. Pollock, C., instructed by Messrs plaintiffs; Mr. Calthrop, instructed by Mr. E. N. Bonner, Messrs, Deanys and Bowley, repre- sented the defendant.

Mr. Calthrop remarked that when the plain tiffs commenced these proceedings hey simply said "You are trespassing, and the defend- ant replied that he was using his own drain. It appeared that the drain got out of order; it did not satisfy the requirements of the Sanitary Board and notices were served on the plaintiffs and defendant to put the drain in order.. That was stated on the affidavits,

The Chief Justice--I am not trying this case on affidavits, but on evide ce..

Mr. Calthrop-I had no idea you wanted us to bring evidence, I have brought no witnesses. If evidence were required we should have had pleadings to set out how we became entitled to use the drain. It has not been suggested in the affidavits that what we said is not correct. What they do say in their affidavits is that we are trespassing and in one sense we did go on their land, but they don't say how it came about that we went on their land. We maintain that we had an easement; we were compelled by

Much disappointment was felt by crowds of people who found their way to Fitzgerald Bras Circus on Saturday night, at the fact that the management had to abandon the performance, owing to unforeseen difficulties of lighterage and transport. The large steel cage for the animal acts was not ready, and the "network of wires" which forms the gear for the Herbert Tmpere Troupe could not be put up. The management endeavoured to notify the public at the earliest possible moment, in order to pre vent disappointment, and the clubs and hotels ago we gave the first news concerning the pros that the preparations are now complete and

PROMISSORY NOTE ACTION.

SUING ON A BILL FOR $30,000. A promissory note case was taken by the Chief Justice, Sir Francis Piggott, sitting in Original Jurisdiction, to-day. The Fuk On Insurance and Godown Company claimed pay ment of nearly $6,000, being the balance due on a promissory note issued by the Tuck Hing firm to he amount of $30,000,

Mr. . G. Calthrop, who appeared for the plaintiff firm, said Mr. Pollock, K., had or Iginally appeared for the defendant but was not now instructed. The plaintiff was suing on a promissory note which was made on 29th September last by the Kwong Yik Wo and Les King Shek, the master of the firm. The payment was guaranteed by the defendants, the Tack Hing firm, of which He Tung Shan was master. The defendants did not deny the guarantee they admitted they signed the note but they set up a reason for not paying, the reason being that the security was given to the plaintiffs of 10,000 bags of flour.

The defendants did not appear and were not represented,

Mr. Pollock-l feel very strongly it would be

a great saving of expense to all parties if your Lordship would try the case on affidavits.

The Chief Justice-The case, then, will be tried on affidavits as they stand and no further affidavits will be admitted.

The ped upon the arrival of the contractors from New York City, who were expected in Hong- kong on February 1st (1934). As this machinery was aiready to be set up, it would require but little time to be put into operation after arrival. We are given to understand that altogether some $70,00 has been subscribed, while land at Canton, the cost of which was Tis. 20,000, and at Quarry Bay, costing $10,000, has been paid for the machinery costs something like $30,000 gold the payment for which, we are told, is practically guaranteed. The company are desirous of getting about $300,000 subscribed at the outset and with this leaving the manufacture of ice in Hongkong till some future date. It is believed that about March of next year a commencement will have been made not only with the manufacture of ice of which it is expected to turn out some $5 tons a day, but also with distilled water, à business from which the company expect to desivo large profits.

in the course, of his remarks, Mr. Pollock said that the question at issue was as to the remedy for trespass. They did not press for the injonction now, but only submitted the question as to the damages. What the plain-in band intend making a start at Canton, tiffs said was that the defendant had no right le enter the plaintiffs' premises without asking and obtaining permission. Judgment was reserved.
