LAND COURT APPEAL.
This was a motion by Ng Yik Shan as trust for the Ng family for leave to appeal against decision of the Land Court, ander the Now Territories Land Court Ordinance, 1902, with reference to the lease of a tract of land near Kowloon City.
Me. E. H. Sharp, K.C., who (instructed by Mr. G. K. H. Bratton of Messrs. Mounser & Bratton, soliciters) appeared for the ap pollant, said that his sy was that the Wong family to whom the land in question had been awarded by the Land Court were tenants of the Ng family.
