Shanghai, 13th April, Before F. S. A. Bourse, Fsq., Assistant Judge.
Nee Ker v. Hatt, This was an action brought by the Fi: E. Hall of the Rue des Poros, French plaintiff, a Ohinese fruit merchant, against Concession, for the recovery of $20; balance of account rendered. The case was adjourned from Inst week for the plaintiff to produce additional evidence of liability. Defendant alleged that everything was ordered through a past-book but plaintiff could not now produce it stating that he had handed it to one of Mr. Hall's former employes some time ago. This man he proposed to call.
Chang Hong-chi went into the box and spoke to receiving the book from plaintiff and to handing it to Mrs, Hall, who generally paid the accounts.
Defendant again denied liability and produced receipts for goods subsequent to the months of July and August which were now claimed for. He called a witness who said the pass-book was sent to the plaintiff but not returned.
The case was adjourned sine die, the Court advising the plaintiff to sue Cheng Hong-chi in the Mixed Court for the production of the pass-book.
