(the average of the sales) at which their premium was fixed,
as was done in Wong kewan.
I have to report that upon the application of the principal inhabitants I withdrew 3 Lots, 2 attached to, and one opposite the Joss House in Aberdeen, and they will address a petition to His Excellency upon the subject.
One Marine Lot Wa4 in Apleechow was not sold, and an application has since been made that it may be taken at the average rate of the others.
And in Aberdeen a similar application has been made for lots unnumbered from 14 to 19 inclusive - the former is entirely in water, and the latter are rocky and steep and rough, as well as most expensive to clear away.
Seeing no objection to the arrangement I beg leave to recommend the proposal to the consideration of His Excellency the Governor, so that the whole Villages will be complete.
