GAMBLING DEBTS.
SHOULD THEY BE PAID? By Telegraph.—Press Asm. —Copyright. London, November 6. Sir Edwin John’s -solicitor says 'he always advised clients to refuse to pay gambling debts likely to be sued for. Repeatedly he invited Sir Edwin’s creditors to take action in the English courts, where he would have resisted the proceedings. If the- creditors had discussed the debts as debts of honour he would have agreed to consult members of the family in order to discover means whereby they could be met. The French courts had no jurisdiction over Sir E. John. If he returned to Paris he might be imprisoned, but it was more likely the case would be re-opened. It is perfectly understood there had never been the slightest suggestion of dishonourable conduct on Sir E. John’s part.
