In June, 1900, Ma loover was applied to by Chang to take over This matter, and he ultimately came, to an arrangement under which Chang and his share- holders, were to sell the concern to a European company, preferably an English company. In July 1950, a document was executed, under which an English company was to be formed to. NGKONG AND SHANGHAI BANK: take over the property of the English company. The negotiations were carried on by Mr. Foover, on the une side, as agent for Bewick,HE Moreing and Co, and on the other side, by Chang and Mr. Dating, Mr. Hoover subse- quently left for Europe, and he then com municated with Mr. Moreing.

Then the syndicate formed the English com pany, and that company-the defendant com.

Before it was executed Mr. Morcing .had ceased to have any interest in the matter, except that he was a director of the English company and a shareholder is it. Serious difficulties arose with regard to the manage- nent of the property, and ultimately led to this action being brought, asking, as against PARTICULARS AND CONDITIONS of the defendant company, for a declaration that the memorandum was binding...

At this point the Court adjourned. The case was resumed on 19th ult,, when Mr. Hughes resumed his argument.

He said that, so far as anything that had necuired in the course of the trial went, not one word was said by counsel for Moreings to

question the memorandum, and they did no suggest that it was not binding on the company. On the other hand Mr. Morcing had made every endeavour to get it carried out. The allegation of the plaintiffs was that Mr. Hoover,

presented that this memorandum would be a acting for Mr. Moreing, had fraudulently re- ruling document.

Lord Justice Romer asked if it would not be sufficient for counsel to say that he had never pugned the memorandum; or, at any rate, in say that they bad nothing to do with r When the main appeat was opened they would be able to get at the main facts

Mr. Hughes replied that that would suit his

case.

Mr. Levell, K.C. (for the respondents), said that the plaintiffs' case all through was that the Moreings had been in the position of trustees of the new company.

Mr. Hughes said he could not accept that

statement. His clients had no interest in the question whether the memorandum was bind. ing or not. As they had noting to do with it, a declaration that it was bending on them might be very embarrassing. As the end of his judgment Mr. Justice Joyce had reserved the question any question that might arisa of changes. His clients did not dispute that the Es memorandum was binding on the company; but he did say that to make a declaration that it was binding as against his clients was einbar rassing, and they ought not to be subjected to it, as an endeavour might be made hereafter to nake them responsible for it. His clients had taken up the position that the company should carry it out.

Mr. Levett said his case was that the Mure. Lings were really parties to the memorandum

through their agent.

Mr. Haghes said his submission was that the declaration was wrong as against bis clients. Ho said the Judge was wrong in refusing to give the defendants their costs,

Mr. Isancs, K.C., followed on the same side. Mr. Neville, K.0, for the appellant defendant company, said that the appeal, though it arose out of the same facts, was entirely distinct fom the case made by his learned friends, The rights of the company Against Bewick, Morcing and Co., were preserved by the judg- ment. It might be that the company would have a claim against the promoters, but that would have to be set up in another action, With that they had nothing to do in the present case. The question for the court there was as their capacity to hold this property in China, which was of very great value, and on which some £500,000 had been spent since the com pany took it over. The complaint the appellant company had to make was that the action being an action for rescission of contract for the purchase of the coalfields and the properties the conclusion whether or not the plaintiffs were entitled to rescission, and déclarations of any kind were entirely out of place in an action

of that kind, and which might have the effect of indirectly giving to the plaintiffs an advan tage which admittedly they could not get as a result of the action-ibat was, indirect rescia- sion.
