to operate. Sir Matthew Nathan admits that as a result of the construction of the right angle sea-wall in 1891 and 1892 ther was an alteration of the sea bed, which may have been further affected by the demolition of our wharf, and the consequent dispersal of the stone filling under it. What necessity for stone filling under a wooden pier, or how the removal of wood- piles could cause a rise in the sea-bed is not easy to under- stand, but when 27,000 tons of mud have to be displaced by depositing the pierre perdue a rise in the sea-bed must take place.
What is called the stone filling under the wharf were stones and earth carried from the demolition of part of the new rubble sea-wall and earth filling behind it on the adjoining Lot, and the sinking of five stone boats alongside our pier during a typhoon.
Before the Reclamation, sea going steamers were brought alongside our pier, but after 1895, when the pier was taken away,
cargo boats could not be brought to the seawall in front of
our Lot at low tides, and when they were brought at high water
and the tide receded, so many were damaged by grounding on the
stones that owners refused to bring their boats, and coblie
hire for carrying cargo a distance of 310 feet instead of 50
feet advanced to about three times the former rate, and many
of our customers gave me notice that they would discontinue
using our Godowns after 1895, and the number gradually decreased
from more than 300 to about 30, and the net rents decreased
from $15,406 in 1895 to $4,308 for 283 days in 1899 when the
Godowns were sold, yet the Experts for the Crown said that the
Reclamation had been a benefit to us!
The loss of renta, however, is not disputed, and had the
Government settled our claim for depreciation when called upon
to do so in 1896 there would not have been a clain for loss
of rents.
Thus, the laches of the Government necessitated the claim
and the Government is equally bound to pay the loss as it
