Mr. Io: According to your testi- mony the wall on the north side is andamaged; that where there were no building operations, the wall on that side suffered no damage. The witness: Yes.

The witness agreed that the wall on that side, for the greater part of its length, was on natural ground, that had not been filled in.

When you inspected the damage

to the plaintiff's property, did you not notice cracks in the wall of the plaintiff's house facing the north will? I did not..

Did you notice any cracks in the wall of either building facing that wall? I did not.

I understood you to say that under the Public Health and Building Ordinance, that wall may be built on the extreme end of the foundation; is that right? As far as the fence wall is concerned there would be no objection.

Mr. Lo put a series of question of à semi-technical nature.",,"

Where anything is built on soft cr doubtful soil, settlement is bound to occur? Yes.

His Lordship Settlement on the plaintiff's side was bound to occur? Yes.

Mr. Lo: Where there is uneven loading, that would be fatal to even settlement? As a general point I

agree.

Where a wall is built, the centre of gravity should be on the centre of its foundation? Yes.
