for C.R.

For the Respondent it was contended that this notice is bad, mainly, it would appear from the argument, in that it is not addressed to the Respondent but to the Chief Registrar and that a notice to be good within the Ordinance should be a written Notice addressed to the Respondent himself. In reply to myself Counsel for the Respondent went so far as to contend that, had the notice been in blank, instead of being addressed to the Chief Registrar, it would still have been bad.

Abiew v. Ewusie, page 764 Renner's Gold Coast Reports was relied upon by Respondent.
