Dong v. Ross.
This case, which was heard yesterday morang, was one in which the plaintiff sued for the sum of Tls. 1,680, being the balance of an alleged loss sustained by him through failure on the part of the defendant to take delivery of certain egg yoke.
It seems that a contract was entered into by the two parties whereby the plaintiff agreed to supply prime quality egg yoke. The defendants contends that upon examination, he found that the plaintiff's egg yoke was not of the quality agreed upon, hence his refusal to take delivery.
Plaintiff claimed that the egg yoke was of prime quality. He said he paid Tls. 27. per picul for it and when defendant refused to take delivery he had to sell it elsewhere at Tls. 17. per picul, a loss of Ts. 10. per picul.
Mr. A. E. Preston, of the firm of Ellis & Hays, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. B. Davies, of Fleming, Davies, & Bryan acted for the defence.
The case was adjourned.
Shanghai, Sept. 97.
Before Mr. F. J. Scuunt, Commissioner.
