Young Married Man's Predicament In'H.M. Supreme Court on Monday, before his Honour Judge Grain, J. M. Rozario was sued by a Sikh money lender, Toba Singh, for $370, a loan at the rate of 2 per cent.- per month. Defendant, a young married man, offered to pay $10 a month, but plaintiff insisted that he could pay more, and asked for $30. Defendant was living in a Chinese house.
Defendant denied this, saying he was paying $60 a month rent, having married an English young lady who nursed him during the war.
His Honour said he supposed it was a case of young people having married without sufficient means. Defendant would have to try and pay $30 a month, but would be given leave to apply to the Court without incurring further costs if he found himself unable to do so.
Defendant—Will your Honour request the press not to report the case?
His Honour—I cannot interfere with the press, but I don't sea why you should lose your job if the case is reported.
