Then there were a number of women of what he might call the shel. tered class whose social and dom. estic ties made them incapable of taking any part in the work of a scolaty such as that. While there were the business men whose business routine and the rares of the office also prevented them from doing anything in conne tion with the work. Then the speaker went on to enumerate the

Between these two classes there was a hiatus and in Hong: kong that was being filled by the society and there was no doubt that if the work of the society were more widely known than it was the support of the public would not only be more ample but practically unanimous.

The Rev, D. B. Reynolds seconded and remarked on the help that was given him in his work by the society. The necs6- sitious sailors that he had to deal with were under two headings the professional beachcomber and the genuine unemployed.

There was no duty owed by the defendant to the plaintif Government to sand that money to the rebel troops at Nanking becasue on the face of it it was absurd. It spoke for itself. He proposed to analyɛs the state- meat of claim more clrsely by the light of certain authorities. Now he thought that on the fi strending of that statementofola'm there must be a little doubt as to whether it Was an action for money had and received, or for conversion, b cause they could see that. the term "had and received" applied to the money. These were the technical terms which were used

Wuhu for Canton in actions for money had and received, and "misappropriation" Rubi for Iiolle was the natural term which was used in an motion conversion. Now with regard to the misapplication of money there were only two forms of action which could be brought, that was to say, bad and received and conversion.
