CHARTERED

BANK LOSES · ACTION Sequel To Forged Delivery Orders

Judgment for defendants, with costs, was given by the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl Mac. Gregor at the Supreme Court this morning in the actions brought by the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China against the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., Ltd. and the Ocean Steamship Co., Ltd. (Holla Whort) for damages for alleged wrongful conversion or, alternative- ly, for breach of contract.

The actions were in

respect of goods stored in the godowns of the defendants to the order of the plain- tits in the names of Torbor and Co., and arose out of the conviction of U Chan-jong, principal of the latter was sentenced to four firm, who years hard labour in May last year for obtaining the goods by means of forged delivery orders.

The goods stored with the Hong- kong and Kowloon Whart

and Godown Co, were 31 cases of pleco goods valued at $19,330.14; with the Holt's Wharf were 132 cases worth $50,050.44,

The judgment

In the course of his judgment, the And Chief Justice said: "I can

thing in the admitted facts in Inill- cate that the defendants did anything to show that they no longer nicant In be bound by their contract with the plaintiffs. On the contrary every- thing that they did was done honestly but mistakenly in furtherance and execution of that contract. What they did amounts at most to misde- ilvery without negligence in the performance of their contract with the plaintiffs. I hold therefore that the defendants are entitled as against the plaintiffs to avail themselves of the conditions in their several con- tracts Iming or negativing Ilability."

The Hon. Mr. Leo D'Almada, Jnr.. Instructed by Mr. R. A. Wadeson, was for the plaintiffs, and the defendants Mr. Eldon were represented by Potter, K.C., instructed by Mr. M. M.

Watson.

Bedtime Story

By Gestapo

LONDON, Nov. 23 (Reuter)-The latest Nazi "tall story" is that the Gestapo has been communicating with the British Secret Service for the past three weeks through secret radio transmitters suppiled to the Gestapo by British agents.

The Gestapo, says the story, had a British code without the British knowing it.

But here is the rub of the story- the Gestapo got tired of the com- munications and broke them off on Wednesday,
