expended in developing the property.

The defendant to the counter claim, who was the biggest sufferer by this judgment, is appealing to the Privy

Council against it, and has already obtained an opinion wholly

in his favour on this question of compensation from one of the

leading Equity King's Counsel in England, which has been endors-

-ed by the judgment of the Puisne Judge in the preliminary

appeal here; this however was over-ruled by the predominant

vote of the Chief Justice.

3rd. Case.

Imperial Bank of China v. Loung Shia

King.

The amount involved in this case was some

$350,000. The Bank asked for a special jury, the defendant's

Counsel opposed this on the ground that there would be a pro-

-longed examination of accounts and the Chief Justice supported

this contention (under Section 290 Sub-section 3 of Code.)

As a matter of fact although a large amount

of evidence was taken by commission in Shanghai &c., there was

no very prolonged examination of accounts as the whole case

only occupied a few days in the hearing. Judgment was postponed

and delivered after the Chief Justice had called in a Chartered

Accountant.

It is open to argument whether this Section

of the Code should have been applied in this case.

The sum involved was a very large one, and

several questions of fact were raised. Under these circims-

-tanoes, it would appear that a special jury composed of lead-

-ing business men of the Colony would have been a more satis-

-factory assistance to the Court in deciding these questions of

fact than a single accountant.

4th. Case.

Lo Man Cho v. Hongkong and Shanghai

Banking Corporation.

This was a claim to recover certain

securities held by the Bank which they claimed had been deposit-

-ed with them as security against payment of certain Bills of

Exchange
