Para. 18.

Para. 19.

Para. 20.

This appears to be correct.

Paragraph 19 is a matter of argument.

Messrs. Leigh and Orange's valuation was based on the assumption, for which there was no justification at that time, that the Government would grant Crown Leases of the area included in the claim similar to those granted for Kaploon Marine Lots. The Government obtained evidence from experts which showed that this valuation, even on the assumption stated, was most extravagant. As the question of value, however, was never argued this evidence was not produced.

Para. 21 to 23.

-rect.

Para. 24 and 25.

Paragraphs 21,22 and 23 appear to be correct.

The question whether the claimants or the petitioners were the proper parties to make respondents in the appeal was settled by the judgment of the Full Court, which is cited in paragraph 25, after the matter had been fully argued by the Petitioners' Counsel.

The petitioners applied for leave to appeal to the Privy Council, but their petition was dismissed by the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Hongkong on the 14th December, 1903. If the petitioners had desired to contest the legality of these decisions of the Full Court they should have applied to His Majesty in Council for special leave to appeal; they did not do so.

Para. 26.

The claimants Lam Tak Luk and Lam Cheung Fuk covenanted with the purchasers from them that their title was good and that they would do everything necessary to complete it. These purchasers also covenanted with the petitioners to the same effect, therefore, by virtue of these covenants the petitioners might reasonably call upon the claimants to contest the appeal and the petitioners would have been justified in supplying the claimants with funds for such contest; a step which
