to make the Colonial Government pay to the War Department

the value of its own rights as well as the value of those

of that Department. The rights of either party, alone,

would probably be quite unsaleable. If the union of those

full market value, therefore the Colonial Government must

hold at the disposal of the War Department the full market

value of the land surrendered. But, in return, the

Colonial Government may fairly ask to be given the same

reversionary rights over the land acquired by the War

Department in substitution for that surrendered, as they

should, in return, be given a like reversionary interest to an equal value, in the new Barracks, which interest that Government will be entitled to realize should neither the
