used in contradistinction to requirements for a definite
period of short duration, and in this respect the case
of Spring Gardens is the same as that of Mr. Findlay
Smith's property and the Mount Austin Hotel, referred to
by the Governor in his 5th paragraph.
5. A reference to the 1895 correspondence relative
to Mr. Findlay Smith's property shows that Sir William
Robinson's despatch was written with a view to obtaining
a ruling as to whether Crown Rents should or should not
be claimed from the War Department in such cases: this
point having been settled, the case was not dealt with
by a "Special agreement", but the capitalised value of
the Crown Rent was credited to the Colony in the Colonial
Military Lands Account "following the spirit" (see Sir
William Robinson's despatch of 10th May 1895) of the
circular of 30th December 1894, the War Department
recognizing the right of the Colony, under the terms of
the circular, to take credit.
6. In this case, as in the case of Spring Gardens,
the Crown Rent will presumably be re-imposed by the
Colonial Government on the purchaser in the event of the
property being sold by the War Department, and a credit
given to the War Department on the basis of the
It will, therefore, be
capitalized value of that rent.
