His Excellency directs me to offer another subject for your consideration and opinion, namely, whether it would not be for the real interest of the Colony, which His Excellency cannot but regard as identical with the interest of the Government, to reserve in all future land sales a portion only of the price in the form of rental, the competition at the public sales being made to turn, not on the amount of rent alone, but in some measure on the premiums offered for what would in fact be a beneficial lease.
