No one, however, interferes. Basements were surely never intended for such purposes. They, more than any other part of a house, should be kept serupulously clean. Moreover, people who go in for dog-fancying and poultry-rearing should see that their charges are decently housed, and not herded insanitarily in dark cellars and damp basement space.-Yours, etc.,

BEFORE HIS HONOUR T. SERCOMBE SMITH, closing the entries for the Autumn Meeting,
ACTING PUISNE JUDGE.
LAM FOOK V. TANG KO.
This was a case in which the plaintiff, who is head diver in the employment of the Kowloon and Whampoa Dock Company, sued the defendant, master of the On Cheung shop at Yaumati, for $500 and interest due on a promis- sory note alleged to have been made out and signed by the defendant in favour of the plaintiff.
Mr. John Hays, solicitor, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. F. Reece, solicitor, for the defendant.
In opening the case, Mr. Hays said that on 26th July, 1899, plaintiff was requested by a friend of the defendant, also a mutual friend, to lend $500 to the defendant. On the following day he went to defendant's shop and advanced the money, and a promissory note duly stamped was then signed by the defendant and witnessed by the person who negotiated the loan, Wong Pin.
Plaintiff entered the box and gave evidence to the above effect, stating also that the note was produced by the defendant's accountant, who, it was alleged, was now dead.
Defendant denied the promissory note. His Lordship ordered reference to be made to the Stamp Office in order to find out who requisitioned the stamp paper, and when this had been done it was discovered that the plain- tiff himself had applied at the Stamp Office for the paper.
Mr. Hays thereupon withdrew from the case. His Lordship gave judgment for the defen- dant with costs and sentenced the plaintiff to three months' imprisonment with hard labour for perjury, and his witness, Wong Piu, to 14 days' imprisonment without hard labour. Wong Piu's old age, 61 years, accounted for the lighter sentence passed upon him.
