Sir,

Surveyor Generals Office, Victoria, 10th September, 1850.

In accordance with your instructions I have upon address dated 29th Ultimo the honor to submit the following remarks Scotts letter to your referring to this Marine Lot. N56 and soliciting His Excellency " to direct an inspection of the original diagram and measurement of the Lot, " and that the rent may be equitably charged in terms of Mr Johnston's notice under which it "was alienated."

On my appointment as Assistant Surveyor I had no plan of the Lots sold or granted, and the Records in the Office were not defined, except on a few instance, and these, I believe, were so incomplete they could not be relied upon; many of the Lots were not even built upon, or in any way whatever; the line of Road was not defined.

The Honble. Major M. Caine, Colonial Secretary.
