A claim for $1,000 na damages for breach of contract was brought be fore the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, at the Summary Court this morning, by the Chuan Chiong Co., Ltd., of 150 Wing Lok Street. The defendants were the Tung Hing Knit- ting Co., of 40-54 Tung Chot Street.

Mr. Peter H. Sin appeared for the plaintiff firm, and Mr. D. H. Blake was for the defence.

It was stated that the contract was for the purchase of 500 dozens sing lets bearing the "Chinese Banjo mark, by the plaintiffs from the de- fendants. It was common ground that after the contract was entered
