Judgment in Ho Lup-pun's claim Survey District No. 8 S.N.6.

The Court finds that on the 28th day of 10th moon of the 17th year of Kwong Sui the claimant Ho Lap Fun was granted by the San On Magistrate a concession having an area of 600 odd mau of land on the coast line between Ngau Tau Kok and Lyeemoon. A rent of $5.00 was to be paid annually until reclamation was effected when an appropriate tax was to be paid. On a consideration of Exhibit "O", "E" & "H" it seems clear that the concession included land above sea level as well as land covered by water. Land held in private ownership and quarries were expressly excepted from the concession which is stated to be of Government waste land. The Court finds that the expression 600 odd mau might cover an area between 600 and 650 mau but could not exceed 650 mau - one mau being equal to acre 0.208 and 4.8 mau being equal to one acre.

Delivered 7th December, 1901.
