Yee Sang Hap Kee, and Cheong NEW SPRING GOODS”

Hung. nina Cheong Wah Kam. the managing partner thereof, for the payment of $090,50, being balance due for goods sold and delivered.

When the case was called de fendant slid put, put in m

pearance and in reply to His Honour. Me. Brooks stated that he'could not be sure that defendant had been informed, as his firm's instructions and netually buon withdrawn before the hearing was fixed. In these circumstancos,' His Honour proposed to adjourn the esse, that the defendant might be served with notice of the hearing.

Mr. Brower for plaintiff quoted legal authority to the effect that a salicitor would be made personally responsible for the entire costs of the adjournment, which in this ease were abnormally, heavy, if it could be proved that non-appearance was due to the default of the solicitor.

This point.

WAS bell to be irrelevant since Mr. Broukiem was not acting for defendant, although I had appeared because the (original instructions lipid been given to Messrs. Hastings and lustinge. to which firm he belonged.

Mr. Brewer pressed to be allowed to prove his ense, and referred to defendant's correct entrss if judg-

ment was given by défuaļt, i.. that he could move to have such judgment set aside, and the ener called again.

His Honour said that he was not satisfied that defendant had been informed of the date of houring. He would adjourn this ense and put it in Friday's list, und if it was proved at a later bearing that plaintiff had been subjected to additional costs by the adjourn ment, self costs could be claimed on the judgment.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. Sir Edward Marshall-Hall, K.C. addressing an Old Bailey jury, referred To the value of advertising. It doesn't matter

how much you spend on advertis ing," he said. "It all comes back to you with intorðś! if you have, a good thing to sell."
