He has looked at the detached lands for his part of the late Mr Cuthbert's will, consisting of about 60 acres. From his inspection, he reckons moderate attention has been paid to it, and Mr Cuthbert has very injudiciously moved the farm from its former situation near a good land road. In its present state, he reckons between 10/- or 12/- per acre would be a fair price for rent. If a cottage is built, and a stable for four horses, it might be possible to charge 15/- per acre, but if the College wants to charge this much in good conscience, they should first move the farm back to its original position.

He has recommended various applications, and one this morning from the occupiers of the farm opposite, but if someone can be found to live in the property where it is, that would be more beneficial for the College than letting it out off-hand.
