Kuangtung Club's Objection to S. M. C. Licence Rejected by Court of Consuls An interesting case came before the Court of Consuls, on Thursday when the Kuangtung Club supported a petition as against the Shanghai Municipal Council that they be entitled to receive a licence free from the condition that the club shall be liable to periodical visits from the police. The Court sat in the second court of the British Supreme Court, and was composed of Mr. E. 8. Cunningham (United States), as President, Mr. Sidney Barton, o.M-c., (Great Britain), and Mr. N. Aall (Norway). Mr. Ranald G. McDonald, with Mr. H. R. Snyder, represented the petitioners, and Mr. D. MecNeill appeared on behalf of the Shanghai Municipal Council.
Mr. McDonald said that he understood a.\technical objection to the petition being presented in the name of the club instead of the members individually had been waived since the presentation of a list of all the members supporting the petition.
Mr. MeNcill said that the objection would be waived if the list were appended to the petition, and this was done.
