DESCRIPTION OF THE COURTS. When the Now Victoria Law Courte are completed, Hongkong will be the prond possessor of a very handsome building. The courts will have an extensive frontage, facing west, and mearing two hundred feet in length, and having fifteen bays forming a wide colonnade along the entire length. The bo of the Grecian style of the building is

able to give evidence, but before that one would like to hear if the other side had anything to say against it. The best course to adopt would be to treat this under the Cods, Sections 248 and serve this notice on the other side for them 249, so that the Court would give them leave to to show cause on the day of the appeal why the Crown should not give fresh evidence, and then they could not say that they were taken by The Attorney-General-My object is to pro- vent them being taken by surprise.

SUPREME COURT.

Thursday, 12th November...

The Attorney-General said he did not think their Lordshipa apprehended the exact nature of his application. He was asking leave to file not particular affidavite nor to admit any particular class of evidence, but he was asking leave in general to adduce evidence, and if that was givon then he would file bis affidavits and the other side would have an opportunity of an swering them before the appeal came on. Otherwise, on the day of the appeal argument would come on and the other side would know nothing of the efidavits fled and would require delay. On the other hand, if he was given leave to adduce evidence, they would know exactly what atidavits they bad to rend beforehand.

The Chief JusticeAre you in a position to supply them with affidavits? The Attorney-General-Yos Section 16 of Ordinance 18 of 1903 stated The Chief Justice went on to say thut that the Chief Justice might graut leave to appeal on such terms as to notice, costs and other matters as he may in his discretion were think it." The words "other matters" very general. If the Attorney-General hed, at the time he (the Chief Justice) granted leave to appeal, laid before him the same arguments that had been laid before him now--that the Crown was not represented and that the Land Ceart came to a decision without hearing the Crown-he thought he could have given the Attorney-General leave to udduce fresh evidence if the other side bad leave to adduce say evidenco they might wish in reply to that. But the Attorney-Generaldid not ask him at that time, and it had passed out of the jurisdiction of the Chief Justice into the ken of the Fall Court, whom the Attorney-General now asked for leave to give fresh evidence when the and that the other side appeal came on, should bave leave to adduce ovidence in It seemed, said reply to that evidence. his Lordship, a reasonable application. It did not seem to him possible that the other side conlil show causo why the Crown should not adduce evidence; they would have notice of this evidence before the day of the appea'. In the eirenmstances he would grant this application

and leave it to the other side to bring evidence in reply: His Lordship added that he was not quite clear that the Crown could have appealed under the old Ordinaner, for the words of the Act (Section 16, 18 of 1900) were that any claimant" might appeal. The Crown was the claimant of the whole of the land in the New Territory, and the word "claimant" was not defined. He would not express any formal opinion on the point just then, but be thought there was a question whether the Crown could not have appealed under the old Ordinance

Char Ching Hop and others saed Chan Fuk the breach by the defendant of a contract for for $700 damages suffered by plaintiffs through the erection of a sea-wal. The particulars of the claim ware as follows:-To six months' rent of ground at $70 per month from 10th November, -3902, till 19th May, 1903, 8490; to cost of pulling down and erecting defective wall built by defendant, $280, Mr.). W. Goldring of Messrs. Deneou and Hastings, solicitore, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. E. J. Grist of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist, solicitors, fer the defendnut.

Mr. Grist raised the preliminary objection that the case was res judicatu and had already been disposed of The defendant entered info a contract to erect a sen-wall, but it was set aside by consent. The contract was never fulfilled by either party. No work was done under the contract; it was done by an arrange ment between the plaintiffs and the defendant. The contract itself was never meant to have been falfilled. It was practically rescinded, and the defendant brought an action against the present plaintiff for the recovery of 8325 being balance dua for work done, and he obtained judgment for that amount.

His Lordship said his recollection of the case was that the defendant did some work, most of which was bad and had to be pulled down; and

it

was arranged for the purposes of this action

that what was good he had to be paid for.

Mr. Grist stated that the plaintiff agreed to pay defendant for the work that was good, and did not require defendant to carry out his contract, therefore there could have been no breach of contract.

Mr. Goldring argued that, because he had consented to judgment being given for pay ment for the good work done, he had not necessarily shut himself out from bringing this action.

His Lordship did not think the care was res judicata. it was at the intention thit judgment in the other nelion was to stop this Fone. He was against Mr. Grist on that point.

Mr. Grist said that than the only question was whether this contract was not waived by both parties,

Some evidence was taken, and a further adjournment was made.
