Commons and elsewhere, the Navy is far from being in a satisfactory condition. Hardly single new vessel now-a-days leaves the Government Dock-yards, but as soon as she is put into commission, or on trial, does not disclose some grave defect or error in her construction or machinery; and the most ludicrous (if we may use the term) part of the whole business is no one is held to blame Were such a system possible in the commercial world how could the private shipping industries of the nation continue to prosper? A shipowner requir ing a vessel orders one to be built accord- ing to his requirements, obtains proper guarantees for due performance of the

extraordinary length of the voyage on the ground of lighthouses not being like mile stones along his entire course. Taking this and other startling facts into conside-steamers to their own.. ration we are justified in coming to the conclusion that if the Admiralty would voluntarily rid themselves of the veritable

"man of the sea" they are now over- weighted with, and devote their sole atten. tion to much-needed reforms and improve. ments in several practical branches of the Service, the country would not only vastly benefit, but would be a good deal safer. The Lords of the Admiralty may with propriety be reminded that the prosperity of the people and the security of their tradal interests, is the source of both the wealth and the glory of all, nations." It is with the conviction that the truth of this dictum has found corroboration over and over again in the annals of history, that we feel more than justified in writing thus in the interests of the those who are primarily concerned-the masses, not the "classes."

JUDGMENT was dailvered by Sir R. T. Renale, Chief Justice, at the Sirareme Court (Shanghai) on the rgth Inst. in the suit arising out of a callision between the P. & '0. steam-tender Guiring and the Shanghal Tug Boat Co.'s fug Fukle, which occurred on the 13th December last at about 9.15 o'clock at night. The Guising was coming up river from Woosung and the Fuhler was going down, from Shangbal. The collaton resulted in the Fules foundering and in the Guizla belag beached, shortly after the accident. On the principle that "any Court ought to make very great allowances for a captain ar pilot suddenly put into very difficult elreum- stances while navigating his command" His lordship absolved the Guising from all blame.

SUPREME COURT.

IN APPELLATE JURISDICTION.

(Before the Full Court.)

THE MARINE LOT QUESTION SETTLED. Judgment was delivered by their lordships yesterday in the salt which the Hon. P. Ryrie, As a trustee for the City Hall, brought against the Acting Attorney General with a view to retraining the Government from filling in the Harbour in front of the said Trustees' property.

Mr. Robinson, Instructed by Messrs. Dennys and Mossop, was for the plaintiff; the Actlog Attorney-General appeared in person,

The Chief Justice said-The plaintiff is a merchant and member of the Legislative Coun- cil of the colony, and the defendant is stied under section 183 of Ordinance 13 of 1873, which provides the means of bringing actions against the Crown in the nature of petitions of right. The Goverment of Hongkong, under the authority of a local Ordinance, are engaged in large reclamations of the Harbour of Hong koog along its southern boundary; and the plaintiff claims that as the Crown lessee of marine lot 83 his property will be injuriously that the Government, Its agents, workmen affected, and has filed a petition praying and contractors may be restrained from proceed- ing with the works in front of this lot, as the effect of such reclamation will be to interfere with his right of access and proximity to the sea, convert his holding into an inland lot and thus diminish the value of his property. The matter comes at present before the Court in the return to a rule calling upon the defendant to show causa why an interim injunction should not issue restraining the Government, its agents, &c., from filling up the harbour in front of marine lot 83, &c. Ordinance 16 of 1889-

premises shall not be used nor any part of them for any other purpose than a City Hall in pain of forfeiture, and they have covenanted not to sublet, mortgage or sell or make any other use of the site than that for which it was granted. What- ever therefore may be said as tothe characteristics of marine lols-an to the high price paid to the Government for them because of right - of access and proximity to the sea, the higher" reals reserved and their greater value in the market when they came to be sold-little can be said in these respects about this so-called. marine lot 82, which cost practically nothing, and cannot be let, sold or

mortgaged. It has pot been shown that any right of access to the, ser has been enjoyed by the plaintiff more than any one of the public, and from the nature of the institution and the limitation to its uses, it cannot make the least difference whether it is go feet of 5,000 from the sea, provided the present road is nat narrowed, and it is admitted that it is to be widened to 75 feet. If, however, any, actionable wrong has been done, or is about, to be done, damages would meet the case. An injunction would be out of the question to my opinion, injunction is the only remedy. If such were the although it has, been urged that « perpetual ► case, no public works of any kind, however desirabic, could be undertaken, for any person by his own motion might stop their prosecution, even when commenced for months as the Fraya works have been, after much expense had bean incurred and contracts entered into. Bat apart. from the merits of this particular case, whatever may be the rights of this or any other marinu lot-holder, the jurisdiction of this Court is ousted by the Praya Reclamation Ordinance. The Legislature has by sec. 7, sub-sen, 6, eoncted that Crown lesicer who have not. come in under sub-sec. 2 and 3 shail have ho claim to compensation in respect of any..... depreciation of his lot by reason of the said works, and the Governor is vested with absolute discretion as to awarding compensation to those who have not come into the agreement. If the plaintiff did attempt to come in under the agreement and was not permitted, or if he was this Court canusi help him, for sections 6 and 8 refused any compensation by the Governor, still exilnguish all rights and remedies except those provided by the Ordinance, namely, to have a equitable allotment or compensation for injury as the Governor may decide. It is urged that scc. tion 6 amounts to confiscation of private rights, and that the Ordinance is ultra vires, that the Queen cannot derogate from her own grant, and cannot, by a legislative act, take away what has been granted in ber executive capacity. I confess I should have liked to have seen a tribunal constituted to inquire whether there were any rights and to declare them. It is some – what absurd, however, to suppose that where public improvements in a colony are needed that one or more lessees are entitled to block them. But of course their rights ought to be ascertained and compensated. To say, however, harbour he is always to have it whatever public that because x-man has had certain access to the requirements may indicate, is not reasonable; but any injury of a legal nature giving him right of acilen should be remedied by adequate damages. The Thames embankment cases illustrate how owners may be injured by pubila

Act of the legislature is supreme and on

take away certain rights tyrannously we cannot interfere. The remarks of Chlef Justice Cock- burs in Phillips z. Eyre. 4 LR, 2 B., are in point. The Ordinance fe made by the Governor with the consent of the Legislative Council and duly arrested to. It is made in virtue of the powers conferred by the charter of the colony (see letters patent noth January, 1888, revoking the charter of 5th April, 1843, and granting ■ new charter). The charter, whilst conferring legislative power on the colony, reserves to Her Majesty a concurrent, not paramount power of power of disallowing any Ordinance. The Praya Reclamation Ordinance has not only not been disallowed bat confirmed, as appears by Ganette notification (see judgment of Cockburn, C.J., en the effects of confirmation of a colonial law. by Her Majesty on the advice of her responsible Ministers answerable to Parliament).' The Co- lonial Lawa Validity Act, 28 and 26 Vic, c 63, shown in what respects only colonial legislation may be vold for repugnancy, whilst late casa (Powell v. The Appollo Candle Ca, N.5, a Appeal cases) and the cases therein cited and referred to afirm previous decisions that Colonial Legislatures within their own jurisdiction have plenary powers of legislation, and are supreme within their own limits. To put the matter shortly, I am of opinion, that if the plantiff has a cause of action at all, he is not entitled to an infunction, but only to damages. Second, that any cause of action which he might have is taken away by the Ordinance which rests in the Governor the power of saying what, if any, compensation should be allowed.

The 4th section enumerates the works authorised by | the Ordinance. The sth enables the Governor to remove all obstructions to the work, as piers, wharves, &c.
