As it was, they were unsuitable to be set aside as deferred-payment sections, and they were a great nuisance in the neighbourhood, especially on accpunt of the rabbits. 1 All that the Boara had to do was to ask that the original rosolu- [ tion in regard to' them should be carried put.— It was agreed to recommend the Government to revoke the proclamation referring to the section in question - ■<'
