WANTED IN SHANGHAI

FOR ALLEGED UMBEZZLEMENT.

The case in which the return of Wong Hok to Shanghai, where he is wanted to answer to a charge of embezzling and stealing certain. money and jewelry, and diamonds, of the total value of $1,053 40 is sought, was resumed to-day before Mr. Hazeland, the necessary papers having arrived from Shanghai tugether with witnesses. Mr. F. X. d'Almada e Castro ap- peared for the prosecution, and said the com- plainant had now arrived from Shanghai, and had identified the accused and the jewellery, and would be satisfied with the restitution of her property, without pressing the charge. His Worship said that was for the police.-Inspector Langley said it must be either that or an extra dition case. His Worship then remanded the case till Wednesday at 11 aam,

Meatra. Kwens, Harston and Harding, appear

ed for the plaintiff Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C., instructed by Mr. E. A. Bonner, of Messrs. Dennys and Bowley, represented the defen-

dani.

The statement of claim set forth that the plaintiff is a minor. He is entitled in a fifth share of Inland | ot No. 7, which purported to be assigned to the defendant in consideration of the sum of $16,000 which it was alleged had been paid to the plaintiff by the defendant. The document was registered in the Land Office. The document was got without the plaintiff's consent and the signature was a forgery. The plaintiff claimed that the document should be delivered up and cancell- ed and the registration of the Land Office be annulled and that the Court declare the docu. ment and signature to be forgeries. The defen- dant, in reply, did not admit that the plaintiff was'a minor. The defendant stated that the estate was assigned in consideration of the sum of $16,000 paid to the signatory of the document. The signature to the document is the true and genuine signature of 1o Kwong Chiu. The defendant did not admit that it was made

without the plaintiff's knowledge or consent nor did he admit that the plaintiff had not received the sum of $6,000.

LAND, OFFICE METHODS.

Hit Lordship What puzzles me is how it is possible for a subsequent document to be regie tered with an apparently different name to that of the person claiming title, and the signature is not verified by the actual document.

Mr. Pollock-The signature reads the name in English but it reads different in Chinese.

Hongkong, and August, 190",

The plaintiff, Lo Kwong Chiu, son of Lo Chook Chee of Macao, said he was born on the 15th October of 1885. He remembered his father purchasing Inland Lot No. 7 for himself and his brothers in 'January, 1904, and he was

His Lordship-I suppose that in the Land one of those who signed the document in Registration Office, is England the first thing Macao. There were also present, besides bis they would do would be to compare the signa- brothers, Mr. Harding, the solicitor, and Sintures. The whole idea of registration is to pro- THE

tect title. Here is a person who professes to be entitled to register the mortgage. He brings the mortgage to register it, and the signature does not correspond with the signature of the fast owner.

Tak Fan.

Have you ever raised money on that docu- ment or dealt with it in any way ?--I have not, Mr. Sharp produced the document purport- ing to assign plaintiff's share to the defendant, Look at that signature? Is that yours?- No, it is not my signature, and it is not my

name.

Have you ever seen your name written like that before?-Never.

You have heard that somebody has been raising money on your estate? Yes.

Tell us when and where ?-The first time I heard about this mortgage was in my family house on the 31st March.

Mr. Sharp-It should not be so, but this case

exemplifies what is done.

His Lordship-It is like a mortgage baing brought in by a man named Smith and the last-mentioned 'owner was Smythe. It would be the duty of the registering officer to call attention to the fact of the difference in the names. In this case not only is the meaning different but the way of writing the name' is different,

Mr. Sharp-The Land Officer has only a memorial and the only signature on the me morial is that of the vendor, so that they have no signature to compare.

Who told you?-My father had received a let ter from Sin Tak Fan and he told me about it. Did your father reply ?--Ho sent a telegram. What did you do?--I took the boat to Hong. Long.

The plaintiff said he came across with Lotion is defeated. Kwong San. He had a younger brother, Lo Kwang Chai

Ever heard of anybody called by that name? Not a soul.

or, as he called it, the Falconer property, ie remembered about Lo Kwong Chau coming to Hongkong and raising the money in question, and said that Kang Kit Siang and Tung Kan Hing told Lo Kwong Chau to write Lo Kwong Chiu's name on the document accord- ing to the "specimen written on their hands." His share of the property had been assigned to his mother. He spoke to the sending of the telegram to Hongkong and concluded his evi dence by stating that he was a Chinese B.A.

Did you ever authorise anybody to borrow money on your share in this property?--No.

Have you received any money or any share of any money which has been borrowed on this property ?-No, I have not.

Where had you been during the whole of the 31st of March-1 was in Macao the whole time. In cross-examination by Mr. Pollock, the plaintiff said his father did all sorts of business in Macao. He owns a bank, the lottery business.

He carries on the lottery farm ?—Yes. In Macao and Canton, too?—I am not certain

of that.

Lottery and fantan in Macao then?-Yes. Why was this property in Hongkong bought in the name of yourself and your brothers? 11 was a gift from my father.

You paid no money for it?-No

Who collects the rent for it-Yu Yee Ting He's in Hongkongi-Yes; he's employed in the Tung Tak Tai Bank.

What do you receive as your share of the rent? The rent is sent over to Macao and 1 | am entitled to one-fifth.

Have you received any money at all as your share of the rent?-Yes, I have

How much? don't remember how much I have received altogether.

Plaintiff said the monty was paid into the Po Hung bank of Macao. It was paid in to the credit of the plaintiff and his brothers.

Have you ever drawn out any money from the Po Hung bank as rent?-No, I have not drawn out a cash.

Hasn't your father been drawing money from the Po Hung bank on account of rents?-No.

Are you prepared to swear that?—Yes. It's

.aur money.

You say you live in your "family house." who lives there besides yourself?-My brothers...

Mr. Pollock questioned him and at the out- set witness said he did not purchase his Bik. degree.

What is your reason for the property being transferred out of your nume into your mother's name? There were rumours going about last year to the effect that I had been borrowing money all rund.

Who was it that insisted?-It was made at my own. suggestion because of the rumours going about. In order to pacify my parents. thought it would be better to transfer it.

Who gave instructions to the solicitor?-! gave instructions.

But did not your father come to give instruc- tions?-1 did myself.

Witness said his father had spoken to him about borrowing money on his (witness's) share of the property. In further evidence he said the sum of $9,300 had been recovered by his father out of the money advanced on mortgage. That money was in the bank.

Mr. Sharp intimated that he did not think there was any objection to the other side having that money,

MacAD and he might say that the plaintiff's family was one of the leading families in Macao. About November, 1903,-when the history of this property began so far as this case was concerned the plaintiff's father pur chased this property for five of his sons, in cluding the plaintiff, to be held by them in equal shares. The price of the property was $230,000. On the oil January, 1954, an assign- ment of the property was made pursuant to this purchase to the plaintiff and his four brothers and this assignment was executed at the father's house in Macao in the presence of Mr. Harding, solicitor, and another. It was registered in due course at the Land Office. On the 31st March this year they alleged that this forgery was perpetrated under the following circum. stances. On the morning of that day Mr, Bonner of Messrs. Dennys and Bowley come to the office of Merus.
