The consideration of the question was resum'd sgala in 1993 but he mentioned thal in 18g the particular piece of ground which is then under dispute, sirbou, h at that time divided by the Government into two lots, was the subject of the application with a view of purchasing it for a Synagogue, and at that time surveys and plans were drawn up by Mr. Danby for the la formation of the Jewish Community. When the consideration of the question was resumed in 189; a special sub-committee was appointed la October of that year for the purpose of consider- ing the matter. Again in 1893, 1894 and 1835, la consequence of difficult'es about the funds and otherwise, nothing definite was done, la May, 1896, the matter was again revived and on the 15th of that month a memorandum WAY drawn up by the lewith commetty and aigned by about forty of the residents, as followY' :-**
"We, the undersigned, ara agreeable that Mets D. R. Susen, M. D. Freklel, E. R. Bellies, C.M.G., and A., J. David, should become trustees and take hold of the whole properly and availab'e funds, etc., belongleg to the Synagogue."

Counsel then proceeded and said that on the 18th April, 1896, that is prior to the appointment of the trustees, Mi Danby, who was at that time acting as architect Mr. Ballllos, wrote a follows to the Director of Public Works :-
Hongkong, 28th April 1898. Hon. F. A. Cooper,

On the rath March Mr. Bolll'as, not having had an immediate reply, addrosia another

was received but a Teiter was received from him. Another letter was read from the throa trustees to Mr. Sassoon in London acknowledging receipt al a letter from him and asking that the planet Synagogue properly be handed to them, and that ka forward bls promised donation of $5000 That latter was dated. 37th Oct, 1895 and It also stated that the people were then looking out for a bullding ifte, Course next read a letter willies to the trustees by Mr. J. E. Sassoon saying he had given in. structions to his Hongkong representatives to hand to the trustees the Synagogue property and $1000. The property he thought was worth $10000 and ha reiled on them to get as much as posible for it. With this and bis $1000 they should be able to erect a Synagogue. It was moat, essential that they should have a good ate and be gave Instructions regarding the fascription be wished to bave placed on the new building. The correspondence, counsel sald, showed that the ares in Inland Lot 1381 had not at any time been considered by the leading representatives of the Jewish Comma ny here as a building aid as it had always been considered too big and was to considered by three firms of architects. The letter of the trustees to Mr. J. E. Sassoon to May, 1896, showed that the people did not think the whole ol Inland Lot 1381 was required for Synago- gus. It was perfectly clear that Mr. Bellos only intended to hand over no more than a lot to be carved out of the eastern portion of the
whole lot
His Lordship: Why did you not insert that in your case, that you had agreed to a portion of the land? Why deny the whole matter?
Mr. Pollock raid it was denied that Mr. D-11. les had purchased the land as a irusice for the Jewish community. The pleading was perfectly correct.
His Lordship said the pleadings should have shown what had been done in the matter.
Mr. Pollock, continuing, said it was clearly shown in one of the letters that Mr. A. J. David absolutely knew that the whole of the lot was not intended as a hellding site for a Synagogue, The letter from Mr. Hellllos was written by a clerk and it contained an error in saying that Mr. Belillos had been holding the land for eight months out of the year. The other side had called no evidence, and bad only pat in a aiream of correspondence that showed Mr. Beillios letter was erroneous, In the lotter from the trustees saying they were willing to take over the site it did not show what was meant, whether it was the whole lot, had understood, a afte to be carved out of the ras Mr. Blos
fot. In his letter to Messrs. Sassoon, David and Raymond Mr. Ballitos made use of the term "partlon showing clearly what he Intended and he asked them togel their architect to consult with his as to the portion to be transferred. It could be shown that the three gentlemen koew "perfectly well what was in- tended by the word "site" Counsel then read a letter from Mr. Danby, architect, to the contention that the whole lot was not meant when this word "site" was used.

Counsel tald that this practically completed the whole case and the whole evlentson bebal! of the plaisiltis, and he submitted that they had proved the case si stated on the petition. He submitted that they had sufficiently pro red by that correspondence and by that alone, without farther evidence, that Mr. Bellias par- chased that piece of ground especially for the use and benefit of the Jewish Community in this place, and that it might be used in the interests of the Jewish Community lo the erection of a Synagogue. He declared that he purchased it for this purpose and he wrote under his swn hand that he held it for them, and was ready to transfer to them on the pa; ment of costs. Counsel submitted that there was complete declaration of trust and that Mr. Belllios had purchased, the hand representative or trustee of the Jewish Community, and that there was the clearest possible evidence is bis own band writing that he had so purchased it. He bad abrolately refused to transfer the land when called upon to do so within 12 months by the Jewish Community. Counsel weat through the letters at great length and closed his case without cailing any evidence.
Mr. Francis objected to ady correspondence being brought is after the 11th March when Mr. Belliss had refused to make the transference.
Mr. Pollock read a letter from Leigh and Oringe stating that the trustees had settled to take the whole lot. They know as well as Mo Belllion it was ast intended for the purposes of a Synagogue.
The Court adjourned till to gas.m, to-morrow.
