the Governor of this bolony, inasmuch

the brown Sands

at his disposal for

are

йо

by the Charter placed

of the brown

the use of

benefit of the bolony.. For-

and

Imperial or charitable purposes the~ Governor is authorised to

grant

Lands

free of rent, se long as the object for which the grant is made be observed).

The Naval Premises in this leolony

are miW

and

held under Lease free of rent, but it wild be manifestly unjust improper to authorise the Lords of the Admiralty to dispose of

Land so granted, as contemplated in the clance to which-

I have

referred, thereby creating a tenire different from that of all other brown

Sands, and

practically placing in the

hands of an Imperial Department an

power which by the charter of the leolony

is

given

to the Governor alone.

Should circumstances render it desirable

offer

to abandon the Naval Premises and

them for sale, the Same itself must revert to the bolony, be subject to the

regular rental of its class, and sold at Public Auction, the value of the buildings

and

improvements thereon being recouped to the admiralty, so as to enable the Colony

to reap advantages from the position of the Jana such as it world,

world, have the

grant

never been made for a specific Imperial

fum pose.

I have to.

(Digno) Chas St. Ger. Cleverly

Surveyor General.
