Closing Scenes in Prolonged Action: Denial of Any Un. professional Conduct In H. M, Supreme Court, last Friday, before Judge Grain, Mr. L. Kentwell concluded his summing up in the action for an accounting in connexion with the winding-up of a stock exchange, brought against him by Mr. Chow Kwei-ching, for whom Mr. M. B, Brown appeared. Mr. Brown will complete his ad-Jdress the morning, which will finish one of the longest cases heard in the Court for many years.
At the opening of the Court, Mr.
Sarda, who is associated with Mr. Brown forthe plaintiff, was recalled to give further evidence and he put in a statement as to the Spanish law on the liquidation of companies, translated by him-selt from the Spanish code. said there was nothing in it directly applying to this case.
Zee Kung-sung, formerly a writer the employ of Mr. Kentwell and jow, similarly -engaged with Mr. Govey, also was re-called. said he obtained from Mr. well's interpreter a copy of the Tiquidator's statement inf account English, Subsequently he gave copies to Mr. Covey's interpreter. Mr. Chow had been pressing him for a long time to secure an account.
Summing up for the defence, Mr. Kentwell said he would challenge anyone to investigate anything he had done in the whole of his professional career and show that any o€ it was shady or unprofessional That was what was suggested in Ulus case, but the plaintiff had been unable to prove it. If he had told the Spanish Consul that he sted on following any particular ne, the reply would have been objim is, for he was a Consul and in charge of the whole matter, whilst he (Mr. Kentwell) was not even the trustee, but only the Lquidater. No one had shown that he had in any way benefited personally from what it was claimed was 4 discrepancy. Tt was the Spanish Consul who employed him and a Consul in Shanghai was equivalent to the executive of a nation. If he had done wrong, the Consul could have stopped him.
The ense again was adjourned.
