Previous Contract
C before 4
after 3

1.
Entanglement of
the Previous Contract
with the Buying
out Leases. -

2.
Necessity of having
the land clear of
Leases -
viz to any purpose
though not to Lord
Salisbury -

3.
Hence a proof of the
insincerity of the
Treasury - they accomplished
his purpose-
they frustrated mine.

4.
The two purposes
were brought forward
together by me and
Estcourt to Long - at
an early stage - by
a plan which provided
for both. -

5.
Long accordingly for
a long time approved
of the mutually efficient
plan.

6.
But this approbation
was no more than
a snare. -

7.
Way in which it answered
his purpose -
on pretence of enabling
me to buy
out the Leases he
got rid of Lord Salisbury's
offer to the
same effect.

Previous Contract

7(a)
Though Ld Salisbury
would have found
it difficult to make
good that offer,
that was more
than Mr Long or
any body else
could know at that
time. -

8.
Had that task been
left in Ld Salisbury's
hands my purpose
could not have been
frustrated without
his.

Previous Contract
C before 11 -

1
Ld Salisbury's offer
of buying out the
Leases having been
coupled with that
of the Estate the
recommendation of
the Surveyor Genl
had been strongly in
favour of it. -

2.
His surprize at finding
it resisted.

3.
The disregard shewn
to it was altogether
unjustifiable. -

3(a)
Evidence of Harrison's
recommendation of
the contract plan
whether obtainable.

4.
Long's motive for
resisting it -
Compliance with
it would have been
subversive of the plan
for keeping me out of
possession.

5.
The Report seems as
if it were the result
of a compromise
between the recommendation
& the
resistance. -

6.
The object in obtaining
it in this
form, was to keep
the acceptance or
non - acceptance of
the offer about the
Leases in a state
of pleadable ambiguity
& indecision. -
