South Wales by the late Michael Byrne, and also by a person named Kennedy, deceased, I have the honor to acquaint your Lordship that the Colonial Secretary has fully communicated with the Colonial Agent General in the former matter by a letter, dated 3rd July, 1837, and in the latter by a letter dated 3rd December, 1836. I have, &c, K. SNODGRASS. 234 HISTORICAL RECORDS OF AUSTRALIA. 1838. LORD GLENELG TO SIR GEORGE GIPPS. 5 Jan. (Despatch No. 63, per ship Maria; acknowledged by Sir George Gipps, 15th August, 1838.) Sir, Downing Street, 5th January, 1838. Petition I have received Sir Bichard Bourke's dispatch No. 74 of received from the 2d August, transmitting a Petition from Mr. George Went­ G. Wentworth. worth for a Grant of Land in New South Wales on the ground of an application, which he addressed to General Darling in 1830, followed by a reference to the Land Board and a Report from that Board in his favor in February, 1831. It appears that, notwithstanding this Report, no grant was made to Mr. Wentworth, altho' his claim was preferred and in­ vestigated before the promulgation of the present Regulations for the disposal of land. Inability of On the receipt of this application, I felt it my duty to enquire R. Darling of General Darling whether he had any recollection of the cir­ to report on claim, cumstances under which Mr. Wentworth failed to receive the land, to which by the Regulations then in force he would seem at the time to have had a fair claim. General Darling having informed me that he has no knowledge or recollection of the case, I have no means of forming an opinion on the validity of the present claim except from the facts stated in the Petition, of the general accuracy of which there does not seem to be any question. Validity of Under these circumstances, had this claim been preferred claim affected within a short period after the Report of the Land Board or even by delay in application. soon after the alteration of the Government Regulations in 1831, I should have felt myself bound to admit it; but the long delay, which has been suffered by Mr. Wentworth to intervene, between the Report of that Board and the assertion of his claim, of which I find no explanation, appears to me materially to affeet its validity.
