(PUISNE JODGE).
THE SATIONAL BANK OF CHINA, 135, r. P. LEMAIRE AND CO, This case, in which the plaintiffs claimed from the defendants the sum of $10,000 on a bill of exchange, again caine on for hearing.
Mr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., instructed by Mr. H. W. Louker (of Messrs: Deacon, Looker and Thecon) appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. M. W. blade, instructed by Mr. F. P. Hett (of Mesara, Brutton, Hett and Goldring), for the
defendants.
The Chief Justice said-We think it must have been apparent to both parties that the Court Took a very strong view with regard to the evidence to be derived from the books of the bank and, subject of course to anything Mr. Sharp may have to say, we are strongly of opinion that the care cannot be carried further than the books, and that as those did not show there was any credit gives to Edwards, Piry & Co's. liqui:lators' account when they took the bill and the promissory note, they cannot be held to be holders in las
We thought it right to let you know
at once--we considered the matter yesterday in order to save both sides enormous trouble
and the cost that would be involved in hunting through the books. The only question is that as Mr. Sharp muy have a great deal to say in the mufler, we want you clearly to realise the view we take---that as the books do not show that the documents, the bill of exchange and the pro missory note, were taken and credit given for them, the bank was merely the holder for collection, and not in due course. That soVILY the only inference to be drawn from Curry r Misia and the Clydesdale Bank case; so it now remains for you to decide what steps you would like to take.
Mr. Surg-I should like to consider your Lordships observations. I quito appreend your Lordships' position, and am very much obliged for the Satimation. I think if I am able to meet the cage it. will not be

LEAVE TO APPEAL GRANTED. In the matter of the claim of Te King to fand in the Now Territories known as cinin 5. survey district No. 2 and in the matter of
the New Territorion Land Court Ordinancs 1960 and 1904
Sir H. S. Berkeley, Alderney General instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor, made application,
a
The Attorney General-I move for love to appeal to the full cut against so much of decision or fading of the Land Court as allowed the claim of ouo To King to waste hand within the boundaries mentioned. I more on the grounds that such allowance is errouects inasmuch as To King did not establish any title to such waste land in a New Turritory as against the Crown. The application is made under Ordinanca No. 13 of 1903, and your Lordship will observe that by that Ordinance at any time before a title has been granted power is given to the Chief Justice, when proper enuse is madaoul, to great leave to the Crown to appeal against any judgment of the Land Court relivered either before or after the passing of that Ordinouco. The grounds on which I establish chase for your Lordship to make an order are set out in an affidavit by the Crown Solicitor, and the portion which is tho subject of may applica tion is what may be described as waste land. The Government has granted a Crown lease for a wide extent of cultivated, orchard land and houses and for a part described as the whole village of Ausbiwau, but we dispute the right of the claimant to ask for a grant of any portion of hand comprised in what is described as a large strip of foreshore which is not covered by water at high tide, and has not been reclaimed. Tho first proposition I submit I will be able to establish is that all the land in the New Ter ritories is by virtue of the concession of the Territories and also by virtue of the oporation of the Land Coart Ordinance of 1900, prima facie the property of the Crown, and that any porso to claimant before the Land Court) claiming land in the New Territories axit throw upon him to establish a claim superior to that which prima facie is in the Crown. It is for the Land Court to establish the fact that a claimant is entitled to land within the territories of the King, There have boon decisions in this Court to that effect and your Lordship will observe that we are not appealing against the whole decision, but only that portion which allows waste land to the claiment.
His Lordship-Is it your contention that the lease of the New Territories to the Crown of England transfers the rights of the Crown of China to the Crown of England?
