ADDRESS
Barrister Discourses on Use
French
in Legal Parlance
Although what might be termed a "heavy" subject, (Law- French) Mr. H. C. Macnamara, the Hongkong Barrister, by Interspersing his talk with witticisms, succeeded in keeping the large attendance merry at the weekly flin meeting of the Hongkong Rotary Club yesterday.
Mr. Macnamara showed how the majority of the words In use In the British legal vocabulary are of French origin.
Major R. D. Walker presided, Mr. Walker said his first task was the unpleasant one of having to bid farewell to Major Del Court, Middlesex Regiment, who had been for some time in the Colony and had been an enthusiastic Rotarian. Major Del Court Is going Home.
Major Del Court, replying, said he had thoroughly enjoyed his membership of the Rotary Club of Hongkong where there was Auch n_great_opportunity of meeting friends of various communities. He sald he appreciated the difficult times through which the Colony was passing but did not doubt that everything would come out all right in the end,
