(3) That by virtue of the provisions of 8.4 of the

Colonial Laws Validity Act, 1864, these two Ordinances are

perfectly valid and in full operation even though, which is, expressly denied, these Ordinances are inconsistent with

obligations imposed on His Majesty by Treaty.

As no objection can be made to the regularity of the

precedure adopted to resume the parcels of land in question

in this case, if the Ordinances under which such action

purports to have been taken are valid and of full force,

an order was made on the 28th July, 1894, under s.174 of

the Code of Civil Procedure, directing that the question as

to the validity of these Ordinances should be set down for hearing forthwith, and that, pending such hearing, all

further proceedings be stayed.

Perhaps I should also mention that the Defendant raised a further plea that any obligations assumed by His Majesty in any treaty or convention entered into with a foreign state are beyond the domain of municipal law, and were not enforceable in this Court, but Mr. Jenkin on

behalf of the Plaintiffs said that he did not intend to argue this point and confined himself exclusively to the validity of the two Ordinances in view of their not containing suspending clauses.

Shortly put, the contention for the Plaintiffs was that the authority of the Legislature of Hongkong was to be deduced from the Commission of the Governor, the Letters Patent and the Royal Instructions; and that the failure to conform to the requirements of Article XIII of the Royal Instructions invalidated Ordinances No.10 of 1900 and No.34

of 1910. He argued that 8.4 of the Colonial Laws Validity Act, 1865, did not cure the defect due to the absence of

a suspending clause inasmuch as the references to instruct-

ions in that section were to instructions of a special

character and not to directions such as are given in
