HOWARD AND STEPHENS 2, 512 W. ROBINSON.
Mr. Francis manmed bis addren to-day. He dealt at length wish the wording of the sub-sec- tlan of the Ordinance referring to compensation and argwed that the wad of the word "may" Imelled a power to be used for the benefit of thors Intended to be benefited by the confeiring of that power. Frequently words had to be restricted in their meaning to keepthem to contenance with' the Ordinance." I restricted meaning werd not applied to the clause it would ass whole be inconsistent. The whole scope of the Ordinance appeared to have been designed to give com- pensation of most liberal done-iption to any person injured by the Praya Reclamation Works, He then referred to the Governor's discretionary
power
The Chiei Justice said; Suppose the Governor did not allow plafatli to pat forward his caro, that would be exercising his discretion but would not be accoɛdleg to law.
Mr Fr.nels zid the Governɔr had no discre- (les to summarly reject a claim without investi. gation His duly was fṛt to take the necessary steps to inform his mind before rejectiog a claim. Counsel contended that the Govoraez bad re- fused to exercise his powers to the case where he should have exeiclied them, Maxweil wu quoted with regard to decretionary-power and councel sold the defendan) bið só right to refuse to take evidence or abat his eyes to the fact without arquky. It was not before the Court on what grounds the defendant had sefured to act in this cate. It was absurd in view sitha. broad common rules of English law to suppose that any man's property could be taken away without compensation and it was sheurd when compared with other provisions of the Ordinance. As to the Ordinance counsel said there was considerable carelessness la it and perhaps want of, knowledge. Counsel then quoted a number of English judgments all relating to the discretion of judges which he said showed perfectly clear the duty imposed on the defendant.—It was -distinely-s-power to do jedicial act but not an administrative act The daly of paying the compensation was with kim and he had to exercise his judicial diacreiles on the fac:s before hirs.
After further argument the case was adjourned till to-morrow at 10'30 m.
