THE CASE: IN THE COUNT-OF

· CONSULS.

JEDIMENT FOR PLAINTIFFS.

Cecile Marie McBain, Jolu Prentice and Richard Sadler Freamin McBain, plaintiffs; and The Shanghai Municipal Council defendants.

Jadgment has been rendered in this case as follows:

In this suit the plaintiffs demand that the defendants allow the installation of water closet system throughout certain premises in course of evection; and the defondents plead a building rule, No. 75. alleged to be made under authority ot Land iegulation XXX, as authority for refusing this demand.

"Latul Regulation XXX confers on the defendants the power to make rules with respect to the drainage of

buildings, to water closets, earth closele, privies. ashpits and cesspools in connec tion with buildings"; but the only rule made by the defendants is a general pro- hibition of water closets, Is such a pro. hibition within the authority given by the

Land Regulation?

The Court dreides that building rule 76 is ultra vires. This decision is support- ed by the fact that in Land Regulation XXX itself it is definitely stated that th rules governing buildings and parts of buildings aft for human habitation may be not only in respect to temporary or permanent closing, but also to prohibi- tion. The recognition of a possible need for prohibition in respect to certain sub- jects other than water closets, etc., thought ranged alongside them in the Regulation, must be taken to exclude prohibition from the scope of the, rules allowable in respect to water closets; for, having the idea of prohibition well as regulation present in their minds, the framers of the Regula

The Court, while recognizing fully the zeal of the defendants for the health of the community and sharing their opinion that the conditions of the Settlement at present are not suitable for the general introduction of the water closet system, is unable to let the rain words of Ind Regulation XXX to live after than their natural sense and is of opinion that the application of the by-laws now adopted will suffice to obviale zany, serious danger to the public health.
