Our clients under the circumstances naturally consider

(and we submit reasonably so) that if they are to be denied

any compensation for the loss of the property, they should

at any rate be reimbursed to the full extent of the amount

paid by them to their Vendor subsequent to the Land Court

Judgment (under which our clients' Vendors were, as trustees for

our clients, clearly entitled either to the property or com-

pensation for its value), and the costs of Architects, Coun-

sel, and Solicitors incurred by them.

We have now accordingly the honour to respectfully re-

quest that you will reconsider the basis on which you have

directed the assessment of the compensation in question, in

order that such assessment may be a reimbursement in full to

our clients of the expenditure incurred by them.

We are,

sir,

Your most obedient Servants,

Gwens & Haretou.
