Thus when Sir Henry directed the lot to be resold by Public Auction on the 22nd January 1844, he did nothing more than what was strictly allowable, and his refusal to acknowledge Mr Rowneds' claim was not a violation of the conditions on which the Lot was originally put up for sale.
As I have said, the land was resold at Public Auction on the 22nd January 1844, and struck down to Mr G. T. Braine. To this gentleman a lease was granted, and he must be looked upon as the true legal owner of the land.
Something might be argued further, perhaps in support of Edwards' claim, from the manner in which the possession of the ground by the three parties first mentioned in this memorandum is recorded in the Land Office book, and Sir Henry Pottinger's reason for refusing his countenance to the original transaction would probably, if known, be admitted sufficient; but into such matter it is quite unnecessary to travel, inasmuch as Sir Henry's action in ordering the resale was indisputably legal, and consequently the Standing Committee of the Club may act with confidence on the plain facts of the case.
