amounts to the considerable sum $18,085 Dollars on £1,884.7.3-

With reference to a portion of this ground, a correspondence took place between Mr Jardine and the Colonial Secretary, Jardine wishing to prevent the occupation of the ground between his own premises and the water.

The terms of Mr Jardine's lease showing clearly that he did not possess the right to prevent such occupation, it was held impossible to accede to his request.

On the ground Mr Jardine by his agent again formally protested against the sale, but this fortunately had no injurious effect on the biddings, which were unusually high, especially for those lots to which Mr Jardine laid claim.

A gentleman closely surrounding who represented himself as Mr Jardine's Agent purchased a part of this ground, and the remainder was bought by those who were understood to be acting on his behalf.

The ground put up on sale in June 1853, and then purchased by Mr Jardine, who not fulfilling the conditions of sale, the ground was resumed. At that time it was valued and offered formally at £2,000 here.
