There are others, however, whose opinions vary. “The ponies, one expart was heard to remark, are of the ordinary stamp, but you can scarcely say The expert wert on that they are the best." to ssy thất, as the tima test was not called for at Shanghai, the pooics only being put to a canter for the inspection of the judges before shipment, it was impossible to tell how they would shape when they are half-trained.

The foreign situation may become worse at any moment, and the peace of Germany seriously threatened if her armaments were below the standard which the European situation demanded.

He deprecated criticism of the difficulties of Austria; and considered that peace was best served by a clear pronouncement of the seriousness with which Germany regarded her duties to her ally.

Mr. Hastings then went on. He said the first point to be considered was what was debtor's domicile of aricin. His friend (Mr. Dennys) had raised the point, that because be was born in Hongkong he was domiciled here. That was not so. A child born in Hongkong must take his father's domicile. The next point war: "Did he ever require a Hong dug domicile?" He admitted that he had family houses in Canton and Macao,

and Mr. Hastings submitted that debtor did not want to ba domiciled here. Assuming that he was domiciled he abandoned it when he left the Colony in 1955. What debtor wanted the Court to do was an abuse,, 'His' debts amounted to $243,000. Debtor said that bis friends subicribed $1,005 among them selves, which was given to him and which he handed 'in to the Official Receiver. The debtor bad the audacity then to come and ask to be "white-washed." and to be permitted to do business here again. What he had to pay

bis debts amounted exacly toʻ rjd, on the pound. Mr. Hastings submitted that there were no merits in his favour, and called for the petition to be dismissed, adding that because a man was born in a place it did not give him the domicile..
