Judgement in the appeal case, Sing Hong-chang rv. Low Lougyam, was given. The defendant appealed to the Full Court against the judgement of his Honour Judge Skinner Turner, in which an order was made that defendant should pay to plaintiff the sum of Tls. 14,981, with interest and taxed costs. This sum was found to ise due by defendant as a partner in the Ngee Chuan bank, carrying on business at Swatow, in respect of contract as to sugar to be sold by the bank on the joint account of plaintiff and the bank. The chief ground of appeal was that there was a defence to the action, which defence should have been heard by the Court after an account of the transaction had been taken by the British Consul and two Chinese assessors at Swatow, which account was submitted to the Supreme Court and judgement given in accordance with its findings.
In the separate judgements now read by his Honour Judge Skinner Turner and his Honour H. P. Wilkinson, the appeal was dismissed with costs.
