Crown Rents in arrear and to request Your Lordship's sanction to their being written off.
The Village Rent Roll has hitherto been in a very unsatisfactory condition and steps have been taken to have it improved.
It appears that it is not possible to recover the arrears partly on account of the poverty of the parties concerned, and partly because the houses in respect of which they are due are in ruins.
The houses mentioned in the 3rd schedule cannot be traced owing perhaps to confusion caused by re-numbering at various periods and some of them have probably disappeared.
I have the honour to be, My Lord Marquess, Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,
William Robinson
