CLAIM FOR RENT.

REVISION OF JUDGMENT.

In Summary Jurisdiction this morning his Honour Mr A. G. Wise, Puisie Judge, gave his decision in the case in which the Sham- shui-po Land Investment Co., Ld., sued Wong Kwai for recovery of the sum of £929,20, being the amount of arrears of rent due from defend. ant to plaintiff, in respect of Lot No. 2,325, situate in the New Territories.

Hi Honour said when this case came on before him it was informally broughí to bìa notice that, under Ordinance 3 of 1925, he had no jurisdiction is such a case. The defendant did not appear, aud judgment was given against him as usual in such a case, as his Honour con sidered that he hadjurisdiction. A suminous was then taken out by the defendant's solicitor for the case to be restored to the hearing list, and subsequently there was a change of soli citors, but the question was the same and he might reply by a simple refusal. However, he thought it better to give some rensens. He liad stated that in his opinion the words in the section "proceedings relating to land" referred to title only, and on that as- sumption he gave his decision. The defend- ant's solicitors argued that under the Ordin ance the jurisdiction of this Court was busted with reference to actions for rent. He had previously held that the words qunted did not, per se include actinus 10, recover rent, and he Manre and the principal officers of the British those words were to be construed in conjunction On the morning of the 9th inst. Admiral was still of that opinion. It was urged that
