By means of these, vessels could be safely anchored in any weather, even in heavy storms.

Mr. Gardiner: Something you take a fancy

Witness: Well, that is a curious thing (Laughter).

Mr. Gardiner:. And you like taking up cases and selling them?

Witness: Oh, yes.

His Honour: I wish I had known you before, as since Cassumbhoy died there has not been any, legal adviser or abitrator for these

cases,

Mr. Gardiner (to witness); You are a busi- ness man, as well as a lawyer?-

Witness: Jam not a lawyer,

Mr. Gardiner: But you administered some sort of law and justice in your own country?

Witness: Yes, I was a nasty.

Mr. Gardioer: I don't know what that is, but no doubt it is something very high. At any rate you are a business man?

A PECULIAR accident occurred at Pengog the other day. The guard wire over the tramway wire came down and a ricksha coolie caught hold pf it. An alert Malay policeman went for the coolie immediately, for trying to steal Municipal property, and was knocked head over heels by the powerful shock he received, Witness: Oh, yes. while the riksha coole was having anything but a pleasant time at the end of the live wire. When the policeman picked himself up he was fall of virtuous wrath and promptly sat on the chast of the coolie, who had by ibst time got away from the wire. Eventually a European came along and the coolie was removed to the

police station and thence to hospital. The coolin had some very bad burns on his hands as the result of his contact with the live wire, and the Malay constable is still wondering how the coolia managed to kick him head over heals.

Mr Gardiner: Then how, if you are business man, did you let a receipt be made out on account for money advanced at a date later to other payments?

Witness: I had nothing to do with that. I wrote the receipt as I was requested.

Considerable argumeat here followed as to the manner in which Indians keep their ledgers.

Mr. Gardiner: Now on the 28th February. there is a payment of $500 and on the 11th month $170 to defendant-that make up cur lously enough just the amount the plaintiff claims.

|

England in March he remitted $313 to India, Mr. Heu; What is your pay per months ? Witness: $37.

Mr. Helt: And you remitted $323 in March! Witness: Yes, I brought out £30. Continuing, witness said in July, 1973, he did make a remittance; that is he was in India, and as there was a credit to his name in Hong. kong he wrote to his commanding officer to send him the amount, which was done. In November, 1904, he remitted $57; the same in December, 1994, January, and Febitary, as and in March tos.

Mr. Hett: See if you can find any other remittances of over 5,7, in any month.

In short, the causes that have forced up the price of coal have now disappeated, and the in- creased production tends to create a movement in the opposite direction. The extension of

promotion of industry will, of course, absorb a larger quantity of coal than before the wur, but this will have but little effect on the general situation.
