The rehearing of the case in which the Shanghai Hotels, Ld., were awarded $300 damages against T. Demensthtein, a musician, for breach of contract, was concluded before the Senior Consul's Assessor, of, the Mixed Court, on Tuesday. The Assessor announced that the judgement would be on the same side as before, but the damages would be reduced to 3400, with costs.
Mr. F. J. Schuhl (for the Shang-to make an entry that the judgement is satisfied and we will waive all claim to the damages. We do not want this man's money at all and we only brought the suit in order to teach people that they cannot break contracts just as they please. If he had given a week or a fortnight's notice we should have been content and should probably have let him go. We are quite satisfied with the judgement and that will be sufficient.
The Assessor: All I can say is that I thank you very much.
Mr. Demensthtein: I also wish to thank you very much indeed.
