Sir,

With reference to my letter to you of the 8th June, No. 29, I have the honour to refer you to the result of the sale of Lot No. 73, or a nearly equivalent area of ground arranged on a different plan resumed from Mr. Murrow for Ordnance purposes.

The area formerly leased to Mr. Murrow at a rental of £10 per annum, and at the Sale on the 17th instant it produced a premium of £605, and a rental of £60, showing the advantage derived by Government by the change.

H. T. Mover, Esquire,

Colonial Secretary.
