reports that all arrears of fees

due on

Squatters' licences up to the end of 1895 have been col- lested with the exception of _ $72.26 due by holders who have left the Colony or surrendered

their holdings.

I have accordingly

to

request authority to write off

further sum; and as

the above

holders of lands under this ~ form of tenure

are

constantly

leaving the Colony or vacating

their

premises,

it would be a

convenience if general authority

were

e granted to the Governor to

write off arrears in such

write off

when

they

cases,

are irrecoverable.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most Obedient

Humble Servant,

Within Rabayy

convenience.
