time are cleared of merchantable timber, and as areas are
withdrawn ground rent will be reduced pro rata.

for any error, discrepancy, or misdescription whatever in respect of any lot or in these conditions.

    obligation incumbent upon him the license will be subject to
    cancellation.

    laying-down and working of tram-lines through the land by
