Goodman and Mr. Sercombe Smith confirmed that decision.

Chu Ping appealed to the Privy Council,

The Privy Council held that under the

Reclamation Ordinance frontagers only were entitled to share

in the reclamation, but decided that Chu Ping was not a Trustee

and that Chan and Pun had no rights against him: and the Privy

Council dismissed the action of Chan and Pun, but without pre-

that Chan and Pun had a real grievance advised the Governor to

sccede to their request, and after correspondence the present

action was commenced.

At the trial Mr. Pollock for the Plaintiff

tried to put in evidence Yiu Chow's Petition and various

minutes dealing with it, but the Chief Justice excluded this

very important evidence, on the ground that (as was unfortunately

the case) no witness was produced to prove that the Petition
