CLAIM FOR RENT,

HO TUNG CHUNG SHUN, KOO.

In Original Jurisdiction this morning, las Honour. Sir Francis Piggott, Chief Justice, presiding, judgment was given in the case in which Ho Tung, of " Idlewild," Seymour Road, sund Chung Shen Koo, of No. 11, Queen's Road Central, for (1) specific performance of an agreement of lense, and (2) for the recovery of the sum of.55,950, being the amount of arrears of rent of No. 14, Des Vaux Road, due by the defendant to the plaintiff. Judgment has already been given on the point of the specific performance in favour of the plaintiff, Mc. E. Sharp KC, instructed by Mr. D. V. Steavenson, of Messrs. Deacon, Looker and Deacon, appeared for the plaintiff, and Hon. Mr. H, E. Pollock, K.C., instructed by Mr. M. J. D. Stephens, represented the defendants.

Before delivering judgment, his Honour said that he was puzzled as to how the defendant admitted that at most a month's rent might be due to the defendant. He find already intimated that the plaintiff was entitled to judgment on the claim, and that the defendant was entitled to judgment on the counter-claim, the question reserved being as to the amount of damages. The defendant so confused hit case with the amount of details he introduced that it was difficult to disentangle. 11 it clear that the front shops were finished toó Inis, and

that the defendant was to have, complete possession, except of the part occupied by the Daily Pren, on July 1st. In view of his find. ing on the principal point in the action, that the Daily Prits was not to go out in February, defendant would not have let the upper floors only if they were finished, therefore the alleged loss to Lauts Wegener and Co, or other per sons, was immaterial. The premises were, 10 have been finished by Messrs. Palmer and Turner, on October 15th, but they were not finished until November 15th. It was dificult to assess such damages, as there were always some contingent damages which it was difficult actually to specify, but he thought 5,500 would correctly express the amount due on the counter-claim, and defendant was cotilled-to judgment for that amount. Plaintiff would be allowed his costs on the claim, and defendant his costs on the counter-claim.

Mr. Starp asked his Honour to re-consider the question of the costs on the counterclaim, but his Honour said he thought they should be awarded as he has adjudged them.

U. S. TRANSPORT "M¿CLELLAN."

It was rumoured in Manila that the trans. port McChillan will be used as an inter-island boat relieving two of the chartered transports and thus save considerable expense to the Government When asked regarding the Buthenticity of the rumour the chief quarter Anaster said that at the present time all rumours regarding the McClellan must be only conjecture, inasmuch as the transport will require three or four months repairing, and nothing definitely can be determined until the repairs have been made. Al present la fe- Clellan, Kilpatrick, Meade and Ingalls are under orden to be sent to the United States, vin Suez, as soon as they can be spared from this station and no change of order has been

received at these headquarters up to the pre-

sent time.

-THE JUDGMENT.

The Chief Justice mid:-LI Sing was an. old and wealthy Chinaman. He seems to have and other characteristics. He must have been

He also had | somewhat hazy views of the subjects of what belonged to him and what did not; for there is one admitted instance of his having included in this subdivision among bis, sous,

And bis (Yuki's) analysis, was not much better, for I do a think he considered too carefully the conditions under which, the two sigeatures re- spectively were written. One point especially was worthy of his attention. Both characters were obviously written with an almost dry pen and there is no telling what will result from a dry pen, whether it will correctly produce, in, the way of loops and Gourishes all that is re-

quired of it.

I should require much more skilled evidence to induce me to accept the proposition which seems to undar-lie this witness's ovidence, that all Chinamen at all times and under all cir- ・cumstances always write the characters of their names in an identical manner. It would be impossible for me to find forgery an suth | evidence as was given. But the school-mas- ter's evidence fatal to the defendant who called him. He practically pronounced in fa- vour of the genuineness of the signatute in exhibit 6.

It is true that this document only related to the first branch of the alleged transaction, the sale to Li Sing and not the transfer to the plaintiffs. But, if you pul a case of forgery forward and hair of it breaks down or is abandoned it requires an ex-

ceptionally strong case to support the case of forgery against the remaining part. A case of forgery' cannot therefore in my opinion be held to be established; these are therefore docu- ments which I hold to be genuine and which

to the Lai Hing firm. It may well be that with declining years that delicate mental per ception was wanting which was necessary to appreciate the somewhat complicated relations with the Lai Hing and with former owners of shares in the property in the lots of land now in question. He also seems to have been a bit of a despot, for certainly Li Tsuk Chi, the ex- ecutor of Li Ling's brother, Li Chit, did in the satisfy the requirements of the sintuie of frauds, matter of the assignments to the sons what he Judgment for the plaintiffs with costs. was expected to do trusting, I suppose, if he really knew what he was about, to correct matters afterwards, as be did in the case 'above mentioned. The question is whether it is not necessary to make another correction, in the case of the property in dispute in this action and which was included in the assignment to Li Po Lung. The plaintiff's story is that they were willing to purchase a share in the pro perty belonging to ancestor Tam Lai Ting, and the way in which this was done was by means of a purchase by Li Sing, and a retransfer of the property by him to them, The terms being the payment to the vendor of $10,80 cash and the taking over of the liabilities to the Lai Hing of $3,800. This transaction was proved by (1) a receipt from the Lai Hing of the sum of $10,800 from the Po Shun Tung, that is, the two plaintiffs ;. (2) an entry in one of the Lai Hing, books, ab stracted by the plaintiff-publicly as he said to the effect that the share was transferred to Li Sing, and on the same day parted with for the same price to the plaintiffs; (3) a balance slicet hook was made out for perusal of Po Shun Tung which dealt with the amount, $3,800 due to the La Uling; (4) a balance sheet look of the previous year belonging ta Tam Lai Tong in which there is a record of the transaction so far as it relates to Li Sing. The

verbal arrangement between plaintiff and Li Sing was tendered in evidence and objected to. I admited it subject to consideration. I think it was lightly admitted as part of the rat gista (?). I do not, however, discuss this question, for

although evidence is interesting, it is not of such importance that is rejection would have seriously prejudiced the plaintiff's care, nor would it of itself be sufficient to support the phintiff's case. The defence to the action is a general denial, which in the The first box tak the following forms. defendant did not appear, counsel stating that she was a Chinese' lady and therefore could not or would not go into the box. A dangerous doctrine as it seems to me when the Jady has

been taking a more or less active part in the management of as estate, and one to which in the absence of more light I cannot subscribe.

The second defendant went into the box, and shook his head to everything. In some things his head negatives were equivalent to palpable

In

In a striking article on the withdrawal of the Russian trepps from Manchuria, the Military correspondent of The Times points out that during the 21 months ended Nov. 30, 1975, there had been carried castward over the Trans-Siberian rallway 20,000 officers, 1,270,000 | men, 230,000 hores, and over 1,600 guns, be sides a vast quanty of stores and supplies. The number of reliqvists in this tolal is given by the Russian Press at 400,000 men, repre- Keating 40,00 per cent. of the effective strength.

A small Canton pony was the cause of much excitement along Queen's Road West, this moming, and it took two burly European cons tables all their time to hold on to the animal and to keep clear on its bind legs. The pony belonged to the Chung Wah. stables and was sent out this moming In a gbarry. What the 'mafoo did to the pany when it anived at West Point no one can say, but suddenly the animal reated, and larbed out wildly with his hind lege. Nothing could be done to stop the pony's attack on the gharry. The mafoo got so scared that ho left his box and took up his position in the street with the crowd which had already gathered watching the performance, thinking it was arranged for. their amusement. The animal seeing he was not interfered with resumed its attack on the gharry, until finally the shafts were snapped, and the animal finding itself released, galloped down the road at a furious rate. A policeman, who had just tumed the corner, took the ‘altua. tion in at a glance and steadied himself to stop the pony when it got near. At every step tha pony increased its speed, frightened by the yelling clowd behind it. When it got near the police: man it was going at no slow rate and the con- stable madea grab at the dragging reins. He got hold of them, but was dragged some distance before the pony's speed was reduced. Then the fight began. A second policeman seeing his brother officer tussling with the pony joined in, bat it took them all their time to keep clear of the pony's hind legs. Combined force was brought to bear and for a time the pony was mastered, and then led to the station. The animal muti have known what was in store for it, for it

refused to enter the compound of No. 7 Station, rearing and bucking in the wildest fashion. Ai this stage the mafoo arrived and the officers thinking that theChinaman would help in quitt ing the animal, called him to give a band. The mafoo was not to be caught napping, he pre ferred to look on while the others worked, and ar the pony's blad legs had missed him or age or two occasions, the mafoo deemed it expedient to get to safer quarters, so he speedily climbed aree and from aloft looked on at the proceed. Ings below. Finally extra hands arrived and the obstreperous animal was dragged into the station.
