My dear Mrs. Beadon,

* It is strange that such a difference should have been made by the Commissioners in the number of acres awarded between Cormack's and Webster's two adjoining blocks, purchased under the same circumstances; and still stranger when the hostility of the vendors of Webster's block is constrasted with the constant friendship of the vendors of Cormack's block, and that 12,855 acres of the claim, which Mr. Whitaker considered not worth 6d., should have been sought in 1875 in lieu of an interest in Webster's. Will the Attorney-General accept 6d. now?
