HONGKONG TRIP FOR EVIDENCE

A WOMAN'S claim for dam-

ages against the Australian Oriental Line, Ltd, has been postponed to allow evidence to be taken on commission in China as to whether the doc- trine of "common employment" rules in Hongkong.

Annie Olivia Henderson, who was a musician on the Taiping, alleges that she was returning to the ship, while Mr. McCallum said the plaintif it was anchored in Hong- was engaged by the defendant com kong Harbour in 1933, and matter of getting freight, crew and that while attempting to steamers.

At this time, however, the plaintiff was told that this services were no longer required, and he therefore brought the claim which was made up of $282.60 as balance of his salary for February

and $350 as his salary for March, in lieu of notice.
