The principal item in arrear is the Land Revenue, and amounts to £1324. Of this sum £1044 is accounted for by the resumption of lands during the year, and the balance, £1120, I am informed, will be shortly paid.
There is a considerable decrease in the Opium Licenses, amounting to £486, which has been met by an increase in the other Licenses; so that only £46.14.4 is deficient in this item.
In my Estimate, large allowance was made for a shortcoming in the Fees and Fines of Courts, when compared with former years, notwithstanding which the sum received is £557 less than I anticipated.
Fees of Office and Special Receipts are also less than were estimated. These are, however, contingent in their nature, and cannot be calculated with any degree of accuracy.
