Ed. and Tis: 162.94, payable on February 15, but that on presenta- tion they were dishonoured. Dr. H. C. Mel represented the plaintiffs and Mr. Sidney A. Mogs acted as counsel for defendants.

In answer to the petition, Mr. Moss filed a motion, stating that the first defendant was a depart- ment of the Government of the Republic of China; consequently, it was not within the jurisdiction of the Mixed, "Court and, there fore, not a proper party defendant In any action instituted in that Court. The motion further al leged that no cause of action was shown in the petition against Loh Shang-kung and Sung Wen-haien for the reason that they were em- ployees of the Republic of China, and were acting as such, and not in any individual capacity duringTM time mentioned in the plaintiffs petition.
