Plaintiff was next called and stated that she was 22 years of age. Whilst in Shanghai she had worked as a dress maker, earning from $50 to $55 a month. Describing the accident, witness said that she put out her right arm, pointing out where she wished to cross the road, about 10 seconds before crossing. She heard no motor car signal. All that she knew of the accident was that she received a blow on the head and remembered nothing more. Witness still suffered from headaches and frightful dizziness, and had never been well since the accident. She had done no work since, and: her eyes had been so affected that she could not now do needle work, or read.
His Lordship informed counsel for plaintiff that he was quite clear that the judgment of the Mixed Court already referred to was not admissible as evidence in this case. It was not between the same parties to begin with, and in any case the judgment was not binding on this Court in any way, and he' therefore would not read it.
This closed the case for the plaintiff. 2
