The decisions

points adopted by Sir H. Pottinger appear to me on

the whole to have been

quite proper, and I have

accordingly to express my approval of them. I

have no doubt that Sir

H. Pottinger judged rightly Agreeing with the Board

of Officers, that it was better to make the annual rent

itself the subject of

competition, instead of

fixing the rent, and

having

a separate bonus;

and I only notice the point

Specially,

because Sir Henry

Pottinger expresses some

anxiety

to know that

his view of it meets with

My approval. It also appears to me that the Board

of Officers, whose labour Sir H. Pottinger

promised to bring to the notice of Government, discharged

their duties

in a clear and satisfactory

manner.

Adverting

now to the

discussion which has taken place in regard to

the period for which

the Lands have been

assigned upon lease,

instead of being granted

in fee
