Mr. Russ replied that what wanted was what happened that night and not what witness had said at a previous hearing.

In reply to Mr. Shank, went maintained that the complainant spoke to another driver first. Witnean further said that there were seven cars on the stand and not four as suggested by the com- plainant. There was no question of refusing hire, said witness. If the complainant had paid the full fare he would have been taken,

Evidence was given by a clerk of the garage who testified to the two accounts owed by the defend- ant. In both instances several letters had to be written before they were fully paid up.

At the close of the case for the defence, his Worship remarked that there was no evidence that the defendant had demanded the payment of his fare in advance.

Mr. Russ agreed but aaid that there was strong evidence that the complainant had offered $1 and he would, no doubt, have only given $1 when he arrived at Kow- loon Tong, as he had done on previous occasions.

"We never demanded payment of money," said Mr. Russ, "be- cause we never got as far as that. We never arranged terms." Mr. Russ said that no offence had been committed by the de- fondant. Even if, there had been
