Claim in Supreme Court for Tls.
9,000 for Losses incurred Messrs. Frazar & Ca., of Jinkee Road, were plaintiffs in an action which came before his Honour Judge Sir Skinner Turner in H.M. Supreme Court on Thursday claiming is. 9,238.98 from Messrs. J. Naylor & Ca. of Shanghai, The claim was in connexion with a shipment of mos-quite nets, which, it was alleged, had to be sold at a loss after defendant had failed to take delivery, Mr. Baddeley appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr. P. W. Goldring for defendant.
M:. Baddeley, in applying for summary judgment, read an affix davit by Mr. E. H. McMichael, partner in the firm of Frazar Ca. He stated that on September 1990, at the request of defendants, his firm opened a credit for £2,055 with the Chartered Bank in favour of Messrss, W. G. Groom & Ca. for the purpose of financing a shipment of 20 eases of mosquito nets, for the sale of which defendants informed them he had already a contract. The reason for the credit being! opened by plaintiffs was that de fendant was unable at that timd to find the ready money without the receipt of which Messrs. Groom & Ca, would not ship thd goods. On arrival of the goods out here the practice was for defendant to pay plaintiffs the amount which they had advanced together with the commission of 23 per cent. (which in this casa plaintiffs subsequently agreed to waive and for which no claim was now made) and to take delivery of the goods and deliver them to his own customers. At this time the plaintifis wera doing a considerable volume of business on this basis with the defendant.
