Judge Lobingier on the U. S. Law and Commercial Usage In the United States Court for China His Honour Judge Lobingier has issued his decision in further {proceedings connected with the taction by the Banque Belge pour VEtranger i against Montgomery, Ward & Ca. In this case judgment in favour of plaintiffs was rendered "in December, 1922, and the present decision is on a motion by defendants for a new trial, following upon a motion to appeal.
In the syllabus his Honour states with reference to appellate pro-{cedure the following Time.—An appeal or writ of error from "judgment of this Court, may be perfect-within six months after its rendition.
Spersedeas—But such judgement can-{not be superseded more than 60 days after its rendition.
His Honour then proceeds to deal with the grounds for a re-hearing, recalling the of defendants' manager, Tillson, having started a new corporation, the U.S. Import Export Ca., and the assurance given by the Home office to plain: tiffs that Tillson's signature could, be accepted as engaging the firm. Truly if a party was ever justified in relying on the authority of a} corporation's managing agent it would seem to be plaintiff and any suggestion of its lack of bona fides we find to be without the slightest foundation.
