Mr. Lo explained that he had received a letter from Messrs. Russ and Company in which notice was given of two defences. One was that the transaction did not take place at the plaintiff's registered address. The second was under a section of the or- dinance, dealing with unconscion- able interest.

In this respect the plaintiff stated that at the time he had two registered addresses, one at Sns- soon's and the other at Caine Road. In accordance with the amended ordinance he now had one address only at Sassoon's. He considered the interest perfectly reasonable, especially as it was charged on the netual amount lent and not on the double amount signed, for.
