• to the stone drain, although it is useless for building upon - or at least could not be rendered available except at a heavy outlay, objections might be raised if that area granted free of rent; but, as the ground has been already sold by public Auction and abandoned, I conceive His Excellency might grant that portion at the upset price at which it was sold.

The area applied for is 8670 super feet, which would give rental of £15, 14.0d. per annum at £80 per acre.

A portion of the remainder of the Lot might be advantageously used at some future period for the improvement and widening of Wyndham and Albert road, which are very narrow at that place.

I return Mr Braine's letter.
