Crown Lands Office

SIR,

I have the honor to submit, for the
approval of His Excellency the Governor,
a Schedule of Lands leased, or under promise of
lease, under Her Majesty's Order in Council, for
the purchase of which, under the right of pre-
emption, applications have been received from
the Lessees.

2. The necessary enquiries have been made
into the validity of several claims, which are
found to be regular, and in all cases in which
the land has been considered to be worth more
than the minimum price, the value has been
ascertained by assessment, in the usual manner.

3. I have therefore the honor to request
that the Honorable the Colonial Treasurer may be
authorised to receive the price of land in
each case, as within stated, and that I may
receive His Excellency's instructions to call upon
the several applicants to complete their purchases
by payment of the purchasse money.

I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,

A C Gregory
Chief Commissioner of Crown Lands
