PUBLIC HEALTH AND BUILDINGS BILL.. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, secouded by the COLONIAL SECRETARY, the Council resolved itself into Committee and resumed consideration in detail of the clauses of the Public Health and Buildings Bill.

Clauss 227 provided for a penalty of $200 for the use or condenament of the use of any materials, in any buildings or worke, contrary to the requirements of the Ordinance,

Hot. Ir. PLAYFAI said that $200 was far too small a penalty. It should be made $2,000 HE.-Tus-GovErson pointed out that the penalty was really a great deal more than that; suppose a man in building a house put in mud instead of time he could be called upon to re- more if

at its disposal it would be utterly impossible for the Government to see that the provisions of these clauses were carried out.

The DIROTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS id it was an extremely rare thing to hare building going on in any of the villages except Aberdeen and Shankiwan, which were growing jut small towns gradually. In the other villages the tendency was to decay instead of increase, Mongkoktoul Taikaklel. Kowloon City and. these places were rapidly growing into fair sized towne, and he thought it would be grave mistake if they exempted these places It from the provisions of this Ordinance, simply meast that they would develop into hotbeds of insauitativo.

Hon. Mr. SHABy said it would always be pessible for the Governor in Council to make the provisions apply.

The M. DICAL OFFICES OF HEALTH was of the opinion that if these places were exempted and the houses built without supervision a very bad class of houses would be the result.

IN ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.

BEFORE HIS HONOUR BIB WILLIAM M. GOODMAN (CHIEF' JUSTICE).

LI PING, CHAN TONG The hearing was continued of the aution in which Lá Ping, building contractor, suod Chan Tong, contractor, for $16,000 damages for alleged encroachment on the former's quarry at Metaukok.

Mr. F H. Sharp, K.C. (instructed by Mr. F. B. Doseon, of Messrs. Deacon & Hastings). appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. M. W. Blade, barrister-at-law (instructed by Mr. E, J. Grist of Messrs. Wilkinson & Grist), appeared for the defendant

His Lordship, addressing Mr. Sharp, and The COLONIAL SECRETARY thought that the referring to a previous endeavour to arrive at a foses of the lion member that the poor rustics settlement of the case, pointed out that it kis in those districts would be subjected to any client did not get above $1,000 damages the hardship were unfounded. He had had a good question would arise whether there would be deal of experience of what was known as squeen-ary costs at all, for the only matter for his ing, and he had never known the Building Lordship to consider then would be whether Ordinance to be used for the purpose of squeeze the words of the Act referring to actions in the way indicated by the hon. member. No brought in Original Jariadiction which complaints had ever arisen from any of the might have been tried in Summary Jurisdiction villagers that they had been harrassed by the applied hero.

It was cons the suit should not have been brought in Sau venient that it should apply to the whole Colony mary Jurisdiction, and the plaintiff would have because they nevor know when there would be a to take the chance whether he got any costs at development in some sillage, and it was nices-all. If he got more than $1,000 he would" sary that new buildings should be built auder probably get full costs. The expenses were supervision.

Before witnesses were called his Lordship suggested that the solicitors should see their clients and endeavour to come to some arrangement. He thought that if the defondant paid $500 towards the plaintiff's costs and accepted a $100 võrdiot he would be very well cut of it.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL expressed his willingness to make the penalty S500, This amendment was agreed to. Hon. Mr. PLAYFAIR moved the jug addendam to the clause" In respect of any offence under the proceding paragraph whereby loss of life is caused the Magistrate mast at once hold an official enquiry."

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the law at present provided this.

Hon. Mr. PLAYFAIR remarked that he differ. ed. He hast asked the question before in the Council and at the time pointed out that section 6 of Onliasuce 17 of 1888 only permits the Magistrate to enquire into the cause of death and does not compel him to do so.

H.E. THE GOVERNOR said there were certain onses in which the Magistrate need not enquire into the cause of death, if he was satisfied that it was clearly accidental, suppose a walking along

to hold an enquiry.

Hon. Mr. SKARP added that he had been told that no prosecutions would be made anter these clauses in the cases he had referred to. But that was no answer at all. Why make an Ordinauce if you are not going to enforce it? It was not good legislation. Upon the passing of this Ordinance, plans would have to be shown of every bonte.

The MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH said that plans were sent in now and the Sanitary Board had inspectors at Simukiwau, Aberdeen and Kowloon City.

Hon. Mr. PLAYFAIR thought the addition he proposed would be a good thing, because there had been a great many fatal collapses of houses and no enquiry was held until he asked the question in that Chamber.

THE GOVERNOR mentioned that though tricts at the present moment very substantial houses might be built there at any time, and it necessary that these should be built and supervised from assaitary point of view.

Mr. Sharp said that so for his client's costs had noounted to something like $1,000. Would he be justified in advising him to accept $500?

His Lordship pointed out that if he only recovered 2009 damages he would have to pay ten days these would probably be increased by another $3,000. The amount of money expended over this case was infinitely greater than the value of the thing, and he would strongly advise the parties to settle,

Mr. Sharp remarked that the difference between $500 and $3,000 was a very serious matter.

H.E. THE GOVERNDE suggested that it might solve the difficulty to give the Governor in Council power to exempt any case,

Hon. Mr. H&Re agreed that that would meet the difficulty.

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS said that in't matter of that kind they might almost leave it in the hands of the Building Authority,

The COLONIAL SECRETARY remarked that he knew one lot of houses that was condemned by the Sanitary Board soon after it was built To give the Building Authority a free hand to diaperse with the requirements of the Ordinance.
