An advance of £40 towards the erection of a new dwellinghouse by James Greally was approved by the Land Commission in March last and was made to him on the 5th instant. It was a condition of the advance that the applicant's old house should first be demolished or converted into an out-office, and the advance could not be made until this condition was fulfilled. It was not fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Land Commission until the end of September last.
