1. This appeal concerns a small parcel of land in the Tai Po District of the New Territories. It was purchased in 1917 by a Mr. Tsoi Po-tin, whose executors are the respondents to this appeal. At that time it was agricultural land and remained so by any account until 1966 although the evidence suggests that it was not aggressively farmed.
