Sir,
Before addressing the Secretary for the Colonies in relation to the piece of land in the colony which our clients Messrs. 8, 8, and 9. Kelly agreed to buy, we think it desirable to place the facts clearly before you and we venture to hope that on consideration of this letter you will be good enough to see the justice of our clients' claim.
8. You will observe from the Contract (copy enclosed) that our clients agreed to purchase the Lead contained in a Lease made by the Chinese Government and which Lease was subsequent to the convention and taking over of the new Territory registered in the
No.2.
Land Office.
3. The Contract also provided that the purchase should not be completed until the Vendors should have established their legal quiet possession of the property purchased to the Purchasers.
4. It was also provided that all expenses connected with or arising from the risks of the Vendors should be borne by the Purchaser in accordance with the Hongkong Ordinance 18 of 1899.
Steps were accordingly taken by us to obtain the grant, and in due course the Land Court gave judgment on the 7th December, 1901, as the Vendors were parties to about 650 notes (copy judgment enclosed). On receipt of the judgment, steps were taken to oppose or set aside the (land) claim of the Land Court and the Government acquiesced in such decision.
5. Our clients then or-passed plans of the ground and furnished such plans to the Inspector of Public Works.
7. The Vendors and Mr. Pan (or Mr. Jal being judge) then agreed so to Farquharson & Co. to establish the purchase; but it was arranged that the Vendors should pay a small portion of the costs.
