RADIO NOTICES.
Justice Deano delivered judgment in the Supreme Court at Singapore on Thursday last in the case in which Ahna Pana Suna Apjalat”alias Tarmallai, used the owners of the Seang Bee for damage claimed owing to the sink- Ing of the native cargo boat Nouin, which was run down by some steamer and totally lost between midnight on October 25 and 26 last in the vicinity of Tanjong Tohor. In the judgment his. Lordship asked whether there could be any doubt in any reasonable mind that the ship which ran down and sunk the Nonla was the Seang Bee?
