Here then was a basis for settlement, for it is manifest that either the docd did refer to the piece- of land in dispute and agreed with the land sucks, or it did not. Survey was the one thing to clear up this point. If, by a competent survey, the land marke specified in the deed were found to agree with the wataal boundaries of the plot, the case was disposed of; and if, on the other hand, the astoal boundaries did not tally with the specifications of the title deed, it was clearly the duty of the Chinose land state to which piece of land the deed did office, where the deed was registered, to
refer. The Germans contended that the description of the boundaries, their si tuction, the size of the plot, ato, agreed in every detail with those specified in the deed. It was also urged by them that, even granting from the very na- ture of the case, that foreshore plots. could possess no very prominent bound- arine, and, hence, that the terms of ull descriptions would be somewhat vague, Soda Water, Lemonade, fonts Water, from actual survey they had satisfied themselves that it was quite impossible Ghigerado, Potass Water, Sarenparilin
