From Mr. Cleverly I learnt that the Lots were disposed of with the understanding that the Nullah was to be built by Government, and in his Report enclosed in my despatch to which objection is now taken (1450 of 11 August 1863) he represents the "service" as "necessary" and designates the construction of the Nullah "imperative".
Under these circumstances, as will be seen on reference to the despatch, on the authority of the Surveyor General I declared the work "urgently necessary" in order to keep faith with the "French Government", who were the Crown Lessees.
I can only add, or in effect repeat, that as this Government had at the time of sale agreed to perform the work, the work had to be done, and as the Surveyor General (vide Report) pronounced the private works on the two lots to be in course of execution, the work had to be done.
