Respondent's Reply

Continuing, appellee claimed that appellant had made certain denials which ho later admitted. This was a cunning argument to prolong the Jcase without bringing further proof, said the answer, which alleged that. appellant's counterclaim was unreasonable. and asked that the appeal be dismissed on the grounds that appellant's statement that the Judge misunderstood the ease was ndt according to fact; that an appeal should not now be admissible unless new facts or evidence were brought forward; that if the original judgment was legally wrong, an appeal could be filed; and that the reasons for appeal were without rhyme or reason and were only ititroduced to delay matters.

Appellee said that he had come to Shanghai especially in connection with this appeal, which was not only groundless but was not filed within. the time limit required by law. He asked, in addition to dismissing the appeal, that appellant should be required to pay for the "intentional delay of the case."

Judgment was reserved.

Mr. Wong Hwa appeared for ter appellee and Dr. F, Wilhelm for Berblinger.
