Opening his case, Mr. Andrewes, said that the complainant'a firm carried on business as hardware dealers. It was the usual custom pf the firm to supply clients with, goods should there be the requir- ed stocks in the shop. If the firm had not the goods in stock a fokiļ was sent to purchase the goods elsewhere.. The defendant had been sent on numerous occasions, but on the occasion of the alleged "offence he had not been authorised to purchase any goods but he had gone to the Wing Lee firm and purchased a quantity of saw files and blades on behalf of his firm.
