The first was experienced in Ist. 15 deg. north on the 21st September, and raged with terrible force until noon on the 23rd. Inthis very little damage was done to the ship her head being kept to the wind,underbare poles. The lowest reading of the barometer was 19.20. On the 1st inst, in lat. 18,21 north, a northerly gale set In, with blinding rain squalls. The barometer fell rapidly, and at one o'clock on the 2nd stood at a8 80, when it was b'owing a perfect hurricane. Suddenly the wind and sea went down, and those on board were comforted with the know ledge that they were in the centre of the typhoon. Land and sea birds of almost every description and size were hovering bout the ship lo thousands, availing themselves of every nook and corner on the deck into which to crawl The ssel remained in the vortex until 4 p.m. the north and rapidly increased to a most on the 3rd when a storm again set in from farious typhoon.

Mr. Francis said that the application was made in a suit brought by the Hon. P. Ryrie against the Attorney-General of Hongkong under the pro- visions of chap 14, section 83, of the Code, which made the Attorney-General defendant on behalf of the Colony, and was fut an interim injunctipa, but the remedy sought in the suit, of course; was perpetual infunction. The suit was brought by Mr. Ryrie, who was the sole survivor of the three trustees to whom the plot of land on which the City Hall is erected was granted, Mr. Ryrie's affidavit was to the effect that by an indenture made on the 6th March 1866 between H. M. the Queen and Mr. A. Turing, Mr. J. Mc Dowell, and himself, her Majesty granted the land in question, in all 28,000 feet, being registered an Marine Lot 8a, with the usual reservation of re-occupation by the Government if required for their purposes, on fair compensation for the building thereon being given. The term of demise was 999 years, at a yearly rent of $ The land was situated about 6fty yards from the sea, being only separated by the Pizya and sca-wall, and had always been accessible from the sea, The Government of Hongkong had recently, with her Majesty's conscat, determined to fill up the harbor along the boundary, to s distance of 350 yards, and convert the present Prays into an inland street, so depriving the owners of the lot of their right of access granted by the lease, to the derogation of that grant. To that end work was how going on, and in a short time the plaintiffs would be deprived of their privileges as Marine Lotholders, The application, therefore,(continued Mr. Francis) was for an interim injunction to restrain the Crown from continuing such work. Her Majesty, by a solemn instrument, granted to the trustees

Mr. Fielding Clarke pointed out that nothing had been shewn so far that there were trust:es. Mr. Francis admitted that it did not appear on the face of the lease, but there were trustees, nevertheless. The grant was made to three persons, their administrators, executors, etc, jointly, of whom Mr. Ryrie alone survived, and the title was therefore vested in him. They were really the trustees of the City Hall as a public place; but that question could be eluci- dated hereafter.

Mr. Fielding Clarke thought it a material point in the application.

Sir James Russell asked what evidence be had of the right of access to the water, except that the land was a Matine Lot

Mr. Francis said that it was a matter of common knowledge.

Sir James Russell pointed out that in the grant the lot was defined as being bounded on all sides by Government land,

Mr. Francis contended that the fact that it was described as a Marine Lot in the grant implied that it had access to the seat,

Mr. Fielding Clarke' asked what injury, the plaintiff and sustained

Mr. Francis replied that the injury was the threatened loss of access, and the consequent deterioration in the value of the land by the removal of i's proximity to the sea. The plaintiff sought a perpetual injunction, but could

not recover damages.

Sir James Russell said that they would adjourn the matter, in order that evidence might be put before them shewing what constituted a Marine Lo!.

The matter was then adjourned for a week.
