Government is Indo-China have been mak. ing stenuous efforts to induce the M. M. to run their big steamers on to Haiphong. The access to that port has been consider- ably improved within the last two years and the canal at Dinh-vu, opened last year, en aliles steamers drawing not more than 21 feet to go up the river at all tides. Con- siderable sums of money have also been spent in building line wharves at which steamers with a draft of as much as 27 feet can lie and discharge. A further sum of 80,000 is to be expended in prolonging these wharves along the river front of the town, so that they will have a total length of something like seven hundred yards, and in erecting new and more extensive custom- house godowns.

Mr. M. W Slade was instructed by Mr. F. D. Deacon, of Messrs. Deacon and Hastings, while the Attorney -tieneṛad (idum, Sir B. S. Ber keley), with whom was Mr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., (instructed by the Crown Solicitor, Mr. F. II. L. Bowley) opposed the application, and Mr. F. P.. Rett (from Mr. G. K. #all Brutton), watched the motion on behalf of the chimants.
The Chief Justice asked why the application had not been made sooner, considering that leave to appeal was granted three months ago. Mr. Slade replied that he had expected the Crown to join them, as, indeed, it would have been a proper course for them to have taken. It was obvious to anybody who had read the evidence taken in the Court below that unless the Crown adduced further evidence they could not possibly succeed, and it was not until the 13th November that they did obtain leave to adduce that funher evidence. Until that time it did not seem to be necessary for the assignees to put themselves to the expense of being made parties even if the Crown were not going to do so, and as soon as the Crown obtained leave to adduce fresh evidence then il became of vital importance to the assignees to get themselves made parties. Counsel pr ceeded to place before the Court the position of the assigners, as set forth in an affidavit of Mr. F.-B. Deacon, filed on the 18th Novem- ber, and poiming out that they parchased from the purchasers of the original claimants, whose claims, amounting to an area of 40.69 acres, was allowed by the Land Court on the. 7th December, 1901. On the 15th January, 1902, applicants' solicitors wrote to the Colonial Secretary inquiring if a certificate of title would be issued, as claimants wished to deal with the property. On the 4th February the Colonial Secretary replied that it had not been considereal expedient to issue a formal certifi- cate of litle pending the determination of the exact amount of taxes payable on the land; but it was hoped that that would be settled at no very distant date.
The Chief Justice thought no duty was cast upon the Crown Solicitor to add the applicants as parties, as the only question to be dealt with was whether the judgment of the Land Court I was right or not, and whether one of the docu-
menis was trustworthy. -
Mr. Slade submitted that applicants had the whole of the right, title and interest of the claimants. In fact, under the title allowed by Ordinance they were in possession
The Allorney Gential pointed out that they bad on possessory title.
-Mr. Slade maintained that they had a title, al- lowed by the and Court under the Ordinance, and, moreover, one which was strengthened by the Colonial Secretary's leter, which could only mean that the Government would grant an appropriate title as soon as the exact amount of taxes was settled.

leave for the Attorney General to appeal to the Full Court from any decision of the Land Court whether the Crown was represented before the Land Court or not. The order sected, among other things, that upon reading the affidavit of the Crown Solicitor, of the 24th

Crown to appeal.

made were entirely different from the ones made by the person who said he had estab lished bis title before the Court. He did. not propose to complicate the question, before the Court by introducing a num ber of parties who had taken assignments or made contracts with the original claimants some time after the decision was gives, Therefore, for his own part, he was not inclined to add the parties as respondents. If they had rights different from the rights of the original, claimants they could bring them to the notice of the Court in any way they thought fit. He had no power whatever, except- ing that given him by the Statute, and looking at the wording of the Statute, he did. not think it contemplated a number of subse quent assignees being made parties as to whether a decision was a good one or not. Therefore, he declined to add the assignees as parties.
The Chief Justice, pointed out the event of their rating that the decision of the Land Court was correct there would be nothing to prevent him, bringing an action against the Crown. He drew Counsel's attention to section 2 of Ordinance 13 of 1903 empowering the Supreme Court to grant to the Crown leave to appeal from any decision of the Land Court, sind argued that what had 'iken place since the decision in question could not in the slightest degree affect the question as to whether such decision was correct or not.
Mr. Slade deferentially contended that his Lordship was confusing the form with the substance. The form of the matter was an appeal from a decision, while the sub- stance was the subject matter of litigation and the rights of the parties to that subject matter. In the present case the subject matter was certain land in the New Territory. There were two claimants to the land-one the Crown, the other certain parties. Their Lordships were asked to decide, on appeal, which of those two parties were entitled to the land, and that was why he desired, as sepresenting one of the assignees of one of those parties, to be present at the bearing of the appeal. It was not a mere question as to whether certain members of the Land Court had judged rightly the facts then before them ; but they had to try the substance of the matter who was entitled to the land the Crown or the assignees. That was his
rase and, on those grounds, he submitted his clients should be made parties to the suit.
The Attorney-General maintained that Mr. Slade misconceived his position and that of his clients, the assignees; for not only was he not entitled to the right, but their Lord- ships would be altogether travelling out of the ordinary and proper course if they joined his clients as respondents. As lo Counsel's argu- ment, that under section 62 of the Code they could be made respondents, he pointed out that the assignees had not acquired any inter- est in the property until after the Court below had heard and determined the claim. Counsel bad, further, misconceived the effect of section 15 of the Land Courts Ordinance, having over- looked the fact that the word "authorises" in the preceding sentence had no relation what ever to the subsequent sentence. In fact, it struck him, as it must have struck every one, that the application was extremely stale, and there was no excuse whatever for the negligence of the respondents in not making the application much earlier Having dealt with the point, he maintained that applicants could not be added as re-
spondents because they were not claimants in the Land Court, and even supposing they were he would be unable to support the post tion, because, according to the law of China,

The Puisse Judge said the application ought to be refused, as it did not appear to him that the addition of the applic⚫nts as respondents would better enable the Court in come to a decision in the case, because they had to decide whether the Land Court was right or no.
