APPEAL BEFORE THE

FULL COURT..

TRANSACTION NOT DONE IN ORDINARY WAY.

REASONS SUGGESTED.

Legal argument was continued in the Full Court of Appeal this morning when the case of Li Po- kwai, alias Li Kan (plaintiff- respondent) and Tsang Chuen (defendant-appellant) and Li Nga-ching was resumed. Ap pellant is appealing against a judgment of Sir Henry Gollan in which he found that plaintiff was entitled to land and build- ings free of Tsang Chuen's mortgage for $25,000, it being alleged by plaintiff that the mortgage was fradulently put through by his son. Li Nga- ching, who cannot now be found.

Mr. H. G. Sheldon, instructed by Mr. F. X. D'Almada, senior, of Messrs. D'Almada and Mason, is for the appellant, and Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C., together with Mr. F. C. Jenkin, instructed by Mr. E. Davidson, of Messrs. Hastings, Dennys and Bowley, is for the res pondent.

In discussing the question of gross negligence, as found by Sir Henry Gollan against the appellant, Mr. Sheldon referred to his Lord- ship's judgment, saying his finding. was based on two cases, Oliver V. Hinton (1899), 2 ch. p. 261 and Berwick and Co. v. Price (1905) While he was at Wiesbaden in the ch. p. 032. Mr. Sheldon pointed out autumn of 1928 a Soviet emissary his Lordship's remark was that au- cure in thority for his finding would be urged him to make his Russia, but Chicherin refused.

Authorities at the Legations in Peking are greatly surprised at the sudden turn of events in the North China by the discontented politicians and Kuomintang Leftists forming a loose federa- tion.

Mr. Wang Ching-wef has arranged to meet Marshal Yen Hsi-shan either in Tientsin or Tsinanfu.

MORE FINE BATTING BY DONALD BRADMAN.

Three Possibilities.

Counsel advanced three reasons, firstly, that on his death the pro- perty would go to his son without the intervention of testamentary -papers, and secondly, to escape

estate duty.

Mr. Sheldon continued:-One more reason, and I don't suggest dishonesty for a moment, was to defraud his creditors-
