received. It was the question of costs that he was concerned with at present. Why should the appellants be called upon to pay several thousand dollars' costs now, when they might ultimately succeed? There was no sounity for the repayment of those costs.

The Chief Justion said the question wIE whether they should allow the injunction to continue.

Mr. Slade argued that the authorities were emphatic that security for the costs must be given. There was no reason why they should the costs which they might ultimately pay

recover.

The Chief Justice-The rule is that the costs are pud.

Sir Henry-It is very important booanas Mr. Leuba is out of jurisdiction. There is no

against business in Hongkong that can be proceeded If Mr. Hastings gives his personal guarantes to refund the onsts in the event of our succeeding that will get us out of the difficulty.

Mr. Slade—That is the practice. We are willing to do it.

Sir Henry Berkeley-I would ask your Lord. ships in view of the circumstances of a highly debatable point not to make us pay.

We may very well succeed in the Privy Council on the points raised in this Court, having regard to the fact that the Court was divided in opinion. If we pay the costs and succeed we shall be out of pocket in any rent.

The Chief Justice-It cuts both ways,

Sir Henry Berkeley-Both_parties are pre- cisely in the same position, If their costs aro $5,000, probably ours are the same. Why penalise us by making us pay?

The Chief Justice-The other side have got the judgment

The order of the Court was that leave to

appel be granted subject to the payment of security, that no accounts he taken or watches hauded over, and that the injunction stand,

BUILDING ORDINANCE LITIGATION.
