THE HONGKONG

CORRESPONDENCE.

Fine on Coolles

[To the Editor. Hongkong Telegraph.

:

TELEGRAPH. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1932.

Sir. With regard to the case re- ported in your paper of a $45 fine coolies being inflicted upon nine for hauling an Iron girder upon wooden rollers some perches along a public road, I was a witness of this transaction and am astonished that it was made the subject of a court caso at all, let alone the cause of a $46 Ane. I have carefully scrutinized every inch of the road passed over and failed to find any damage whatsoever.

However that may be, as a busi- nces man I am shocked by this exaction upon a firm trying to "carry on" in hard times: as a Briton I am shamed that our good name in this cosmopolitan part of the world should be sullied by an imposition having in my belief no justification in morality.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Enst is in a bad predicament. He does not wish to pass holding none of his partner's suit, but still neither of his suits are strong enough to bid. If Enst bida two dia- monds and West will let that con- tract hold, East and West will not do badly on the board.

Some East players responded with one no trump others bld two lubs with the idea that if they were doubled at clubs they might run to diamonds, Where East bid diamonds, West In several cases then bid two spades.

At one table where the contract was two spades, North and South 50 put up the following defence:

North opened with the king of 30 pades and when he found the 26 dummy void of hearts, he continued 26 with his aco and then a small 25 trump, knocking out all of dummy' 10 trump.
