Great dissatisfaction was expressed at the proposal made by the provincial authorities to introduce deferred payments on runs in violation of the Act of 18(i5. A petition has already been sent to the Assembly, and a further statement of the case is now on its way up. A number of runholders have published an advertisement cautioning persons against applying for laud on deferred payments on their runs, as no land or runs can be legally sold under the deferred payment system. They announce that in case any such application be made, it is their intention to oppose the same, and, if necessary, to take legal proceedings for preventing such sale and ejecting the purchasers.
