4, 516, but on the day of the sale they were withdrawn.

On the 23rd March 1866, the then owner of Lot 186 obtained from Government a grant of that portion of land to the South of his Lot.

In 1877 the then owner of Lot 185 applied to the Government for the piece of land South of his lot, and it is in connection with this grant that much of the difficulty of this case has arisen, for it is the line then laid down that is the cause of dispute between the owners of Lot 184 and 185.

Own EF) Marine Lot Hebard of Hocke

The Government, instead of granting it according to the lease measurements, sent Dawby to take actual measurements on the spot. He did obtain the boundaries of Marine Lot 185, he extended the Eastern and Western boundaries thereof to the road and mapped out Inland Lot 2038; a plan was drawn out, signed by the Surveyor General and approved by the Officer Administering the Government, and the Lot was sold on the 29th June, 1877.

The owner of Lot 184, now belonging to Mrs. Stephens, did not ask for a grant from Government, but took possession of the small portion to the South of his lot and built on it.

After some changes in the ownership of Marine Lot 184, it came into the hands of Messrs. Saphros in 1887. He bought and was in possession of the lot as leased by Government in 1860, and also of the extension up to Battery Road which was then built on. His boundaries were well defined on three sides, viz: - on the North by the Praya; on the East by Whitly Street marked "25 feet wide"; on the South by Battery Road.
