The question of compensation for the Chinese dispossessed from the South West point of Kowloon Peninsula having now been disposed of, it becomes necessary to consider the position of the Chinese Owners and Occupiers of Land and Houses in the remainder of that district.
The propriety of this measure will be apparent from the inconvenience of two different systems of tenure within the Colony and the possible injury that would befal such Owners and Occupiers if a title in law were not granted them for their respective holdings, sufficient under the altered circum- stances of occupancy.
All persons therefore having proprietary claims as above are called on to send in a statement of their titles, with full particulars as to the position and extent of their holdings to Lieut. WILLIAMS, R.E., on or before 30th September next; when to all able to substantiate their claims Crown Leases for 999
years will be granted free of expense, subject only to the same rent as they were formerly liable for
to the Chinese Government.
Occupiers of Lands or Houses within the territory lately ceded, who shall not be provided with Crown Leases after the 1st January next, will be considered Squatters and held liable to be dispossessed at any time, subject to the payment of Squatters' Rent until such dispossession.
