FAN TAN PROFITS
CLAIM NOT ALLOWED APPEAL COURT’S RULING Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. That the profits of fan tan, earned by a Chinese partnership, are not subject' to legal claim against the estate of one of the deceased partners, is the effect of a ruling given by the Court of Appeal. The hearing of the appeal was taken yesterday. The appellant was the Public Trustee and the respondent was Lowe King, fruiterer, formerly of Auckland, but now of Wellington. The appeal concerned the sum of £ 539, which King alleged was owing to him by George Ghee, late of Auckland, merchant, deceased. King regarded himself as a creditor in Ghee 7 s estate, which was administered by the Public Trustee, but his proof of debt had been rejected by the trustee. Subsequently Mr. Justice Stringer had ordered that the claim be admitted. It was against this decision the appeal was made. After hearing counsel on either side the Court allowed the appeal.
