"Dear Sir,Tu ancordance with your insure tions, I forward you the following menim respecting the two sites on the Kouiedy Road on the West side of the Trubway

"Os the 27th of April lash, I recairod instrne- kinus from yourself to send in an application to the Director of Public Works, to apply for the piece of ground on the Konusdy Road, outween the Transway and the Stour Bridge over the Nullab (and known si the synagogne sile) to bo put up to publie auction sale, the written application for which was sout Mr. Cooper on the following day, viz; on the 28th April.

A few day after, during a conversation T had with you, my the Olno verandah, you in- forced me that your iden in segalripe this | ground was to offer it to the Jewish cornmunity, as site for a now syung go whether it would be acceptable to len or otherwise, you enald wet tell ut tas time as the mattor had to bo referred Bombay should the derish, w mualty, however, docile avoutually net te adapt it ha a bite for their synagogue, you would retain it yourself, in whiali case you migat_possibly parlare the site ghore it, and ereét Eirozon Louves on both lots,

Somalio about flubryphotiig of June. Mr. Chuter in farmed me that he had been given to understand that your continuity wore not ir favour of your new synagogue and project. I inferred the from our previous conversation that you would retain this ground for building purposes should you buceno its purchaser, which you did eventually, the site being put up to public suction cula on the 18th inst."

Nothing conll be cloarer than this statement at he object and purposes of the defendant in applying for Lnt No. 1,391. It is inconsistent with the phinti's position flat he applied for the lot on olult of the compunity, thatia, ucling. as their agent or representative in the matter; it is consistent with his own position that he applied for it with the intention of offering it, or at any atwa portion of it; to the community; The value of the two letters to which 1 am now reforring-live in the fact that they were written. within a little ocor a fortnight of the paratage of lot No. 1,381, and before any disputo hoà arison with regard to the circamstares of the Requisition of that lot,

On the 11th August, 1896, the defendunt became the purchaser from the Crown of Lots Nos. 1,82 and 1,383. He has inal the legal title, or at any rate. the right to call for the. legal title, to the entire block of land which I have already described.

About the middle of August, 1996,Mr. Daby bogau to take lovela and make surveys of the block. This work was continued from time to Ein during the next for following months,' aul by December plan of the cutoure of the book was completěl, Mr. Darky says that the defendant cftch pressed him to get on with: the plans for the buildings which were to be erected, but he told him that lo anulỡ do

nothing outil the question of the syngegno 1729 settled.

Next comes the following letter

London 27th October, 1896.

D. R. SASSOON,

D. R. BELILIOS, A. J. DAVID;

This letter was drafted: by Mr, Silas and was signed by tents, D. E. Bassoon and A. J. David and the defendant The fints relating to the application for and the acquisition of Lot No. 1381 must be presumed to have been in the knowledge of all these persons. Tebow lo they treat, the tramanction in writing to Mr. J. F. Soon, who had a vital interest in it? Do they write to inform hit that ner the date of their hut latter to bi-lio 20th May, 1890-the dolondont had purchased, cu betalf of the conunnuity, the site referred to in that letter that he ad paid for it; pul hat they were auxions to take it over from him and To commence building the now synagogue upon it? the three first need gentlemen had at that time taken the view of the transection which toy have since put forward, surely these things, or soraething like these things, are what they would, havo written to Mr. Sasscon. Bal they do not write them things or anything. like them: On the scntrary, they trust the question of the sito a still open, is still matter for selection and negotiation. The obserration also occurs that if the defendant had really. bought and bld the land on behalf of the community, he would hardly have aigood a letter which entirely ignores the transaction.

What meaning Mr. D. B. Suso put upon the reference to the question of tho sito in this letter is plain from his lottar in reply. This Jutfor is is follow
