HONGKONG APPEAL CASE.

CHU PING 7. CHAN UT CHIU and ANOTHER.

..

The Loads of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, on toth uly, gave judgment on the appeal of Chu Ping Chan Ut Chiu and another, from the Supreme Court of Hong kong. This was a dispute as to the beneficial ownership of a piece of land reclaimed from the foreshore in the barbour of Victoria, Hong- kong, under the provisions, of the Ordinance passed on May 10, 1889. At the date of the passing of the Ordinance the ownership of the Crows lease of Marine Lot No. 53, fronting the Praya roadway along the line of the pre- posed reclamation, was divided between Cha buen, Yiu Chow, and an Englishman named Stephens, The respondents are the successum ip title of one Yu Chow, deceased, and the appellant is the surviving executor of one Chu Chuen,, also deceased. Chu Chuen settled with Mr. Stephens, the owner of Section C, by payment of a sum of $2,000, but failed to come The action to an agreement with Via Chow. was commenced by the respondents against the appellant and his co-executor (since dead) in May, 1903, and the Chief Just ce gave judg ment in favour of the respondents for the whole of the land in dispute. An appeal from this judgment was heard by the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Sercombe Smith, but the previous judgment was affirmed. In the present appeal their Lordships advised that the order of the Supreme Court of Hongkong be reversed, and instead thereof it be ordered that the action el the respondents be dismissed with costs in both Courts. The respondents will also pay the costs of the present appeal.
