HIGH COST OF THE

JUDGE'S STRONG PROTEST.

The Increasing cost of litigation was the subject of strong comment by Lord Justice Scrutton in the Court of Appeal recently. Hi Lordship in the course of the case, had the estimate of costs read out in order that it might be made public."

CANTON TENNIS.

SINGAPORE PLAYERS DEFEAT

THE LOCAL STARS.

Canton, Sept. 20. At the Municipal Athletic Club yesterday, the Singapore players, Lim Bong-so and John Lim, played a bril liant doubles game against two of the Canton stars, H. G, Ma and C. M. Ho, winning by three straight sets, 7-5, 6-8, 6-2.

The Macchioness alleged that she had been slandered, and the defendants denied that they ut tered the words complained of. In order to prevent her action being remitted to the County Court for trial, she agreed to pay £50 as security for costs.

In the evening, the Singapore visitors were entertained to dinner at the Nam Yuan Restaurant. Mr.

the acting Chair man of the Provincial Government, Admiral Chan Chak and perity tives of the Chung Shan and other athletic associations, made appropriate speeches, the general tenor of which was the warm wel- come extended by the city to the the On the application of Lord overseas representatives, and

Canton News Agency, an estimate of the costs to be pre- pared for him.

"Preposterous."

Lord Justice Scrutton-I am very much interested in this. When I went to the Bar ten and two would have been the fee for a leader in such a case. The timate ought to be made public.

Mr. Roland Oliver then read es. timates of the costs of the trial. Solicitors for Mr. Willans estimat- ed the costs at: Discovery, £3 10s.; Interrogatories, £10; Costs of trial, including instructions on brief, £60; Brief fee for leader, £80: Brief fee for junior counsel. £53.

In the case of the other defence the largest of the figures were: Leading counsel, £100; Junior counsel, £70; Instructions on brief,

£75.

Lord Justice Scrutton-Surely It is perfectly preposterous to say that in an English Court the pro- per fee for leading counsel in such a case is £100. There may be leaders so good that clients will pay £100 for them. But to say you can't come into Court without paying 5170 to counsel and £70 to solicitors is outrageous,

"When I came to the Bar a leader's fee, unless be were a super-luxury, was ten guineas and two for the consultation. It is a long time ago, I agree. If the taxing masters allow anything like this, the sooner they stop it the Better."

"Ridiculous Figure."

Mr. St. John Field, for Lord Redesdale, aubmitted that a solici tor had to protect his client. If he did not provide him with adequate counsel, he was likely to get into very serious trouble. Here we have this lady, who claims to be the wife of the Marquis, who is head of one of the oldest and noblest houses in the Spanish nobility.

Lord Justice Scrutton-The alleged alaoder being that she is not married to her alleged husband and that she is no better than she should be.

Mr. Field-The only issue is whether the words complained of were spoken or not. Ho asked the APB Court to say that the costs must very greatly exceed the £50 for which security had originally been given.

RED BANK MYSTERY.

£200,000 OF WORKERS' SAVINGS. MISSING.

Paris, Aug. 15, Deposits amounting to £200,000, the Bavings of hard-working but gullible poople influenced by Com- munist propaganda, are missing from the Workers' and Peasants' Bank.

Ford Justice Scrutton said that in such a case as this the Master had only jurisdiction to make one, order as to security. The parties. were never intended to have the right to ask him to make two bites at the cherry, and to order the plaintiff to give further security

for costs after she had once giveir security as a condition of pro- secuting her action in the High Court. The appeal would, there- fore, be dismissed.

The bank was founded. in Paris by the Bolsheviks to "prevent the workers from being Aceced by capitalist bankers," but in reality, it is alleged, to provide funds for Communist leaders

A magistrate and accountants, es- corted by 150 police, visited the premises this morning with the head manager and his legal ad visers. The only cash found was £310, which was taken to the Pro. fecture of Police,

The bank is charged with breaches of the law. Many deposits entered in the names of Communist loaders are said to be fictitions. The books snowed that there should have been £22,000 on deposit, but actually only $24,000 had been paid in

"I do desire to say," added the Lord Justice, "that it is a matter which requires serious public at- tention If it is auggested that in a small slander action the defen- dents must pay the ridiculous figure for costs mentioned in the affidavit. One of the defendants. says, "I propose to pay a leader $100, a junior 570, and to charge 476 for my costs of preparing the brief. The other defendant is not quite so generous. He proposes to pay a leader £80, a junior £58, and to charge £60 for instructions on brief,
