14. Mr. Scott, Inland Lot No.80. Mr. Scott grounds his claim for a reduction of rent from average to the upset price upon the supposition that the Land Committee of 1843-44 were actuated by the entry in the Office books alluding to the grant; such was not the case, and indeed it signified but very little whether it was stated to be a loan or granted by the Land Committee.
The reason that the two are combined in the Blue Book report is that a portion, however, was granted by the Committee, as appears by Dr. Young's statement that Sir H. Pottinger granted him that particular piece of ground that he might establish a Dispensary thereon; he did not do so but sold it for $500, and as soon as Mr H. Pottinger heard of it he decided that Dr. Young had forfeited his title and had no right to sell, and it was upon this decision the Committee acted; and as Mr. Scott had built thereon, he was allowed to keep the ground and at the average price of land sold at the auction of January, 1844.
All the boundaries of Lots throughout the town were necessarily changed when a regular plan of the Streets was approved of, and for the addition made to the original lot Mr. Scott did not pay rent until he was...
