THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1897. .
What the Commities had however in view was tho plebiscite to be thereby obtained from Ballsh subjects the whole world over,
By the address referred to it appears that 461 British subjects in Hongkong (exclastre of Government Servants) signed a protest against any reduction of the Navy Estimates this year. Did they think in atinching their signatures to that protest that they were doing what was absolutely futile ? They had no voice in England.

That there are any British subjects reitdent in | Ho-gkong who have abrojutely ao conarction, communicatin or correspondence with the United Kingdom seems scarcely pubie10 though we may have no role, still we may be the means of soning the good seed. Through all the Jarger (aal bailer) but more varied world of Great Britain it may well be that our Lergne and its aims have not percolated, so a letter or newspaper io tome old frland or relation whether to the Highlands of Scotland, the wilds of Con- nemara,ör perchance to the wilderness of London may be the means of awakening the interest of some voter or voters. The familler metaphor of the ever widening circles traveling outwards from a stone cast futo water applles peculiarly to our League, that has facressed with gratifying rapidity in other parts of the world.
It was with pardonable pride that the Central Committee presented resolutions deprecating the reduction of the Navy Estimates from British Possessions as widely apart as Toronto, the Cape of Good Hope and Hongkong.

He banded in a doca- ment to show how he and worked them out,
Mr. Francis objected, saying Mr. Danby bad only been asked to give evidences to the cost of a wall to support Mr. Belillos's ground at Its natural level on the south side.
His Lardship That is so; I think Mr. Danby has given himself too much trouble.
Mr. Pollock contended that all the estimuler were material and had bearing on the case,
Wines, continuing, said he hid estimated the cost of the wall to support Mr. Bellies ground, 135, at the proposed level at $14510 and cost of excavations $4.417.

The plaintiffs bed no notice that ques tion of a part of the ground was golog to be used. The question of suitability of otherwlst of the ground in the defence was no answer to the claim of the plaintiffs. The plerding was absolutely inconsistent with the defence it was since set up. He submitted that the who's evidence was not raised in the plead- Ing and counsel was entirely taken by surprise. With reference to the circumstances prior to und attending the meeting only the evidence of anc side was taken. Hi proposed to give a different colmar to it and show that the meeting was the on come of an interview of the representatives of (be Jewish Community and Me, Bellos in which they went to him and asked him what was hi new objection and at that metting they were perfectly willing to come to an agreement with Mr Bellow, and that meeting was for an appt. rent settlement and not as the defence put it to decide site for the Synagoga, His Lord- shlo was bound to admit the evidence and Str W. Pagewood pointed out that even if the plain- Hife were given, notice the could not have known what witnesses and what evidence would be called Counsel then quoted other catas which had Indirect beating on the polet He stated that the defence made it appear that the word "site" was ambiguous and brought evid ence to show that not merely the defendant bot the platellits also understood that word in the atgaification pat In. He proposed to call evidence of the word "alt" and also to give a different that his clients n we knew of such a signification colnar to the evidence given by the other side.
Mr. Pollack quoted Justice Romer. His learned friend had said that he was not golog to call evidence and bis courte now was most unusual. Counsel had choten to rest bis cara entirely on certain documents he had put to and be (Mr. Pollock) thought he should not be allowed to re-open bis case (for that wis what it was) and pat a fresh meaning on the wordi #site for a synagogue. would not be fair that the plaintiffi and their witnessee should come forward now and bring evidence as to the meaning of the word "alie." It would be an inducement and encouragement for a man to calor bis evidence as he thought would sult his taste, The plala. is bad all the particalars as to the evidence and it should bave come forward to the fint part of their case.

It was quile Francs should first have considered whit obvious that Mr.

What be plaintiffs relied on war what Mr. Bollitos meant by those words His learned friend, be thought, contended rather rashly that bis cilenis had no idea that the words "site for a synagogue" applied only to let 1381. As early as March 11, 1897, Mr. Bellies de absolutely clear to Messry, Raymond, Son and a faje intention was. Counsel then read the letter from his citeat as to a portion of the ground. Ther had the clearest notification as to what Mr. Belilios mennt, and Mr. Bellion also wrote a lo the meeting of architects to settle which portion should be transferred. Counsel held that the trantees were la full possession of the fact as carly in March 19th, of what Mr. Beillios meant and that they should have portion of the lot for a Synagogac. It was shown clearly that the trustees on Madh rìth in the morning were quite agree to what was meant by the word "alle." It was only that afternoon that the letter osme saying the trustees would take Over the whole lot, Every Incitly had been afforded the plaintiffs solicitors to take copies of the correspondence band ed over.

to support twa nullaks besides the wall on the south side. If the trustees were entitled to the whole of 1381 it would be absolutely necessary to erect a wall between that and the other lots, assuming they levelled it to 10 feet above Ken. ardy Roid. They would have then to speed 98 871 (Estimate B). The wall would be required to spot the ground above its natural level. In some cases the height of the excavation would be about 53 feet above the to feet level and the lowest ft feet. All his observaides were taken from that level. In working out the cast of the wall to support the natural level the wall wou'd be it less is thickness than in the other cases (Estimates A. C., & E.) He fixed the detailed prices from actual tenders seal to him in March last for similar work in the same feeality, to the east of the Union Church. The was for Nichaela's lots 1390-1, on the Kennedy Read level. His explanat ad is the wait be worked out were abso lutely necessary, He had experience with walls on land of Capt. Bathurst and the Land Co., which was identical with 1381 in nature. In Capt. Bathurst's lot be tried to dispeare with wall and ared lime concrete, but when rain care the water rushed through and he was obliged to put og a retaining will." If the trustees fassed in this salt and Mr. Bellios retained the whole of the three fois the only walls he would regale would becne on the north side of Ma donnell Road and small one at the S. W. Corner on the side of the proposed rand running parall: with the Albany Nullah. If Mr. Rollos had caly the two upper lais be would have to build wall or the south side of 1381 it would be necessary in any cure ; and also a wall between the lots. The latter was a wall for which he had not made an estimate.
