The appellant undertakes to comply with the provisions of the instructions of 2161 January, 1846, concerning appeals to the Privy Council,
Mr. Pallock briefly reviewed this case which, it will he remembered, arose out of a mortgage. which was alleged to have been executed by Loug Kee in Hongkong, at a time when it was woved that he was then in Australia, and knew nothing about the mortgage until after his arrival in Hangkong, when he received an incomprehensible letter from Ng Wai's solicitors requesting repayment of the capital and interest on the mortgage to save fare closure. He then found that the title deeds
of the mangaged property which he had left with his wife in Canton had been stolen.
The Chial justice: Bui will the costs cover the amount necessary for an appeal to the Privy Council?
Mr. Pollock: We cannot possibly say till the bills are made out and taxed. But our costs atone will amount to over 14,000,
