No. 24

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No 15 of the
27th of January enclosing a Proclamation issued by you on the 20th
of January, authorizing the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works to sell
Town and Suburban Lots and Agricultural lands which have been offered
for sale at public auction and remain unsold, at the upset price.

I have laid this Proclamation before the Queen, and I am commanded
to acquaint you that Her Majesty has been pleased to approve the same.
