ROCKLE ABOUT A SEA WALL.
In this action Chan Chin Hop. Teang Hot and Wong Kong sued Chan Fuk for $700 duusges suffered by the plaintiff through the breach by the defendants of a continet for the erection of sea wall.
The particulars of the olar were n follows: To six moms rest of ground at 870 per monil from Nov. 10, 1902, to May 10, 1003, 2420; To cost of palling down and erecting defective wall huile by de- fendants $280, total $:00.
Mr Goldring (of Messrs Doneon and Hastings) appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr Grist (of Messrs Wilkinson and Grist) represented the defendant.
Mr Goldring said that the case was
