Mr. J. M. Doyle Sued by Shop Proprietor A claim brought by Mr. Chu Chohhsin, proprietor of a tailoring establishment, against Mr. J. M. Doyle was adjourned until December 12 by Judge N. E. Lurton in the U. S. Consular Court yesterday in order to give defendant a chance to prove his statement that certain bills were not just.
The plaintiff claimed a sum of $156.99 for work which, it was stated, had been done for defendant's wife. Various amounts had been paid, the plaintiff went on, but the sum of $200 was still due to him. Defendant questioned the correctness of the claim and his indebtedness.
In his evidence plaintiff told the Court that he did the work nearly three years ago and that since then he had lost his wife, child and some of his business. Mr. Doyle stated that plaintiff did tailoring work for him in 1935 and at this time witness was satisfied with his work.
When witness went to Japan in 1936 the plaintiff had accumulated enough money to open a tailor's shop with a good business reputation behind it, The plaintiff, however, failed to live up to his reputation and complaints for unsatisfactory work were received, defendant went on.
