Shanghai, 21st September.
Before F. S. A. Bourse, Esq., Assistant Judge.
Karimpatsit t, JOHNSTONE.
This was the resumed hearing of a case which was adjourned from the 14th inst. in order that the parties might come to terms.
In reply to his Honour, the parties said they had not come to terms. Defendant said that he was not willing to vacate the rooms, 46, Rue Montauban, and plaintiff said that he claimed 45 taels rent, for months, and wished defendant to give up the rooms. There was a contract between plaintiff's agent and defendant as to the tenancy of the rooms and a letter was produced, dated 5th June, in which plaintiff said he would not let the rooms originally agreed upon, but would let two other rooms to the defendant temporarily until the other rooms were ready.
