No plans were attached to any of these leases. It will however be

observed that their combined areas exceeded that of the original

lot by 43,582 square feet or practically 1 acre.

The boundaries of Inland Lot 609-D, which is

the one now under consideration, were stated to be as follows:-

North

South

East

A ca

West

5.

Bonham Road, 170 feet.

Inland Lot 609, 250 feet.

Inland Lots 609-A and 609-C, 270 feet.

A mountain stream, 200 feet.

The lot itself, as nearly as it can be deter-

-mined from the above information, is shown coloured pink on plan No. 1 and its area as calculated from this plan is in agreement with that stated in the lease, namely 48,600 square feet.

6.

Since the lease of Inland Lot 609-D was issued

two portions of the lot, designated Sections A and B, have been

severed from it. These sections do not however affect the matter

now under consideration except in so far as Section R, which consists of a road formed by the omers and subsequently taken

over by Government as a public road, cuts off a portion of the

lot which, owing to its small width, is practically useless. The two sections in question are shown on the plan by cross-hatching in blue and brown colour respectively.

7.

The mountain stream which formed the Western

boundary of the lot has disappeared and the only trace that

remains of it is a culvert under Bonham Road at the point Larked

A on plan.
