Mr.

d'Almuda, after consulting

with Mr. Quinn, replied that if the appeal was allowed, solicitors for the. plaintiffs would undertake not to presa for costs.

Refusing leave to appeal, the Chlef Justice, in the course of his remarks, said that the trial Judge, in the exer cise of his discretion, gave judgment [for the defendants and did not amend the claim as it appeared in the writ or entertained an application for leave to amend. The position was manifestly such that the moment the trial Judge found for the defendants, the plaintiffs were entitled to go out and apply for another writ claiming for goods bargained and sold, and assuming the evidence of his wit- | Nesses were true, would have obtain- ed judgment on a further outlay of a very small sum Indeed.

1941 PHOTO CONTEST PLANS: OPEN TO ALL-COMERS ·

The 1940 Exhibition, now being held, marks the close of what has become the foremost annual photographic event in the Far East. Plans are already being formulated concerning next year's competition. For ten years, the event has been confined to amateur photographers, and there is no doubt that during that decade, the standard of amateur work has im- proved immensely. This year's display would be a credit to any city in the world.

The institution of a craftsmen's section was thoroughly justified, and the fact that the premier award was secured by an entry in this section, illustrates the excellence of amateur work in the Colony, not only taking the photograph, but perform- ing all the work of developing, en- larging and finishing. This section will be continued in future compet!- tions.

It has been decided, however, that. next year the other sections of the competition will be run on open lines, and amateurs will compete equally with professionals. In throwing open the event.to the professional, the Telegraph will merely be adopting the usual rule of the Royal Photo- graphic Society,

The Colony's amateurs need havo nothing to fear on this score, for they have clearly demonstrated that not only have they the ability, but in many cases, the enterprise and ins plcation so necessary, in the produc tion of outstanding photographic work.
