Asked what was written on the promissory note, plaintiff stated that it contained the words "Lent $1,300 with interest at 2 per cent. per month,' and the words "We, the undersigned." Cammiade's name, he said, appeared first and Lamport's second.
Sometime in July 1938 witness saw Lamport in Broadway and in 1939 he saw him in April or May. On the latter occasion Lamport told witness that he had no money. On September 14 he again saw Lamport who then said "Do you want to put me in jail? I haven't got any money." Witness then asked hin where @gmmiade was and Lamport replied that he was in Poland.
Cross-examined by Mr. Newman, plaintiff stated that the money was paid to Lamport and not to Cam-made. There had been no payment from Cammiade and no action had been taken against him as he had left the city. It was entirely false to suggest that, before he left, Cammiade had paid $1,300 and interest and that he had given Cam-made a receipt, Lamport, also had not paid aim $1,300 in the presence of one pt the teachers of the coll of which he was principal at time in Range Road.
Note Handed In Ernest George Abbey, clerk of H. M. Supreme Court, stated that in the case of Hari Singh v. Patab Singh Lamport had been a witness for Patab Singh. During cross-examination a promissory note signed by Lamport (other names mentioned included that of Cam-made) was handed in. He believed that the note was for $1,300. Judge P. Grant Jones, he Said, told the Court that the promissory note had nothing to with the case.
After the'case had been concluded he took the documents to the Reistry and he had a faint recollect tion of giving some letters and the promissory note to Patab Singh. Hari Singh also came to the Registry and asked for the note. Later Patab Singh denied that he had received the note.
Lamport, on oath, stated that he was employed by the Middleton Forwarding Agency in Szechueń Road, formerly being principal of the Anglo-Frei College in Range Road. He stated that Cammiade was his friend and a loan was negotiated in 1925, Cammiade being the borrower. Hari Singh lent the money &nd he agreed to act as guarantor. He did not receive any of the money.
