Pugh."—Witness did not remember receiving either of those two letters, and Mr Bryn Roberts pointed out that five leaves were missing at a point where the August letters would come in. This concluded plaintiff's case.—Mr Griffith Jones then opened the case for the defendant and quoted the case Smith v. Hancock, where Hancock had covenanted not to carry ou or be in any wise interested in carrying on a grocery business within a certain district. Mrs Hancock opened a grocery business as Mrs T. P.
