Colony,
I would call your
attention to the words of
Section VI, Sub-section 4, the Praya Reclamation
Ordinance, 1889, which
expressly provides as
follows:
"In case the lessee shall not signify
his acceptance in the
manner and within the
time provided in sub-sections (I, II, and III) of this
section, he shall have no
claim to any compensation
in respect of any depreciation
of his lot by reason
of the said works, but the Governor
may, if he thinks fit, award
to such a lessee a sum
of money or a
lease of new
land as
in his absolute
discretion thinks sufficient
as and by way of compensation
for any injury that such
lessee may
have sustained
by the said works."
