These lands comprising 26 acres, were acquired by the Land Commission in 1968 for the sum of £735 payable in 7½% Land Bonds. The purchase price, together with accrued interest, was paid to the owner in March 1979. The estate was allotted to a smallholder in connection with a scheme for enlargement and rearrangement in the locality. There was no dwellinghouse on the property. No further payment is due by the Land Commission.
