of Canada awarding the- sum of $23,560 to the suppliant, appellant.
A petition of right was brought by the appellant to recover the sum of $390,000 as representing the value of certain land or part of a beach-lot, expropriated by the Crown, and the damages resulting from such expropriation.
The Exchequer Court awarded the sum of $23,560, being four cents a square foot for 589,000 square feet of land expropriated.
The suppliant appealed asking that the amount of compensation should be declared insufficient; and the Crown cross-appealed urging that this amount should be decreased.
The Supreme Court of Canada, after argument, reserved judgment, and, at a subsequent date, dismissed the appeal with costs; and the cross-appeal was allowed with costs, the Chief Justice dissenting. Holden K.C. for the respondent.
