As the Committee appointed to
make investigation into the tenure of land
in this Colony, I beg permission to submit to your consideration the following which I consider myself aggrieved,
having been certain that sooner or
later
an opportunity would be afforded me
and
cases in
sue for obtaining redress, I have hitherto declined to take up any
lease on this account.
You
are
aware that, during
the first four
years of the Colony's existence, it was
impossible for any occupant of land, whatever his claim was,
to
clear
