Ministee did not anticipate that the Legislature would have passed an Act of Assewhly antecedent to the making of the award,” or, io other words, the Duke of Newcastle must be certain of the Commissioners giving theic award io favour of the Preprietors before he recomawa ls the fiial passing of the Bill; and this, LI believe, nas been effec ed throagh the
