to him in committing.
But I think it only just evention that Government has, without any right or justification, deprived him of a strip of land about 5 feet wide along Whitty Street. Quite it is that when his lot came to be measured he was found to have along the Praya 105 feet instead of 100.7 feet.
This strip of land is of value, as I have already mentioned, and from the plan, it will be seen that it was intended to sell a certain block of land with defined boundaries on the East and West, and imaginary boundaries on North and South. The land could then be purchased, and the various lots would have been entitled until their boundaries had been fixed to have the excess divided between them, possibly paying the difference if appreciable for the increase in their holdings. They would have been obliged to retain those holdings if there had been a slight diminution in the quantity.
When the boundaries were set out, it was found in 1874 that the Marine lot intended for sale in one block could not be accurately measured, but this did not arise from any encroachment on Whitty Street or the road. I believe the lots were not measured or laid down till 1877. If in this block there was any slight excess, the parties who had purchased were quite justified in taking Whitty Street as it was laid out by the Government 25 feet wide as his Western boundary.
