To //^y//// /A? /oJ^/^fi^// y J^''-^ Agent for svperintending

^////^^//^

the Settlement of the Townshipfop

Th£ Governor-in-Chief, or Lieutenant-Governor, having been pleased to nominate
you to be Agent for superintending the settlement of the Township of

1st. You are to reside within the Township to the superintendency whereof you are
appointed^ or in its vicinity, in order the better to accomplish the end of your nomina*
tion.

2d. Your next duty will be to lay off, with the advice and participation of the Sur-
veyor-General, a block of 500 acres, as a site for a village, of which 200 acres will be
set apart for a Church, School-House, and Court-House for the Sessions of the Peace ;
the remaining 300 acres to be granted into lots of the average dimensions of one acrt,
by ticket of occupation, on condition that a comfortable log house be built thereon ;
and in conformity to other conditions therein contained, a projected plan of the
subdivision of such a village to be submitted by the Surveyor-General to the Governor,
or Lieutenant-Governor, for approval.

3d. The lots to be granted, to be one-half of an ordinary Township lot, divided
through the centre, not longitudinally, but so as to give to each settler nearly a com-
pact square farm of 100 acres, and the usual allowance of five per cent, for highways.

4th. Each applicant io receive from you a Location Certificate, of which printed
forms will be furnished you, for the half-lot you will assign to him, (each settler being
entitled to the vacant half-lot next after the number of the last preceding certificate,
provided he be the first applicant,) and no such location certificate to be granted, un-
less the applicant be of good character, a British subject, and upon the spot, ready to
commence the performance of the conditions of his Location Ticket. Such applicants,
however, of good moral character, having large families, and probably some of a suffi-
cient age, and capable of improving land, should be particularly encouraged, and re-
commended by you io Government for an additional portion of land, as contiguous as
possible to the land already located to them ; and such of the sons being arrived Xo the
age of majority, or even to that of eighteen, being desirous of cultivating lands for
themselves, provided they appear to you capable of undertaking the management of a
farm, in such case they ought to be located to a half-lot nearest to that of their father.

5th. You will quarterly transmit Xq the Surveyor-General's office, exact returns of
the Locations made in the Township<||)rou superintend, in the following form, accom-
panying the same with remarks on the general state and prosperity of the settlements
therein.

A copy of which return the Surveyor-General will transmit to the Civil Secretary's
ofiice, to obtain through its medium the ratification and approval of Government of
the Locations therein stated to have been made ; the same to be subsequently forwarded
to you, through the Survevor-Gcneral's office, where entries of the ratified list and re-
turn will be first duly made.

iiH

6th. You will make a separate report, for the consideration of Government^ {io
accompany each quarterly return) of such lands where the conditions of settlement
have been wholly neglected, and the time for performing them, or any of them, hai
expired, (after giving due notice io that effect to the parties interested,) but you are
not to proceed to a new Location of the Lots until you receive an authority to that
effect from this office.

7th. Every settler to be held to clear the road in front of his lot, to the width of 20
feet within from the date of his Location Ticket ; and in

default of so doing, his Location Ticket to be null and void, unless satisfactory reasons
are given why the same could not be performed, in which case discretion is left you to
act thereupon with equity and justice towards the individual.

8th. Every person who shall be located, shall be held to clear the entire front of his
half-lot, by the depth of one acre from the front, within two years from the date of his
Location Certificate ; and in default thereof, shall forfeit his right to the half-lot for
which he may have been located, but at th» same time, shall be entitled to his grant of
such half-lot, upon producing the certificate of the Agent of the Township in which
such lot is situate, of the performance of the above conditions, at any time before the
expiration of the two years allowed for the performance of the said conditions.

9th. You will take care to reserve and point out the ground for bye-roads to com-
municate from one range to the other, and with the roads running in front of the lots;
which bye-roads you will lay out at convenient distances from each other, as near on
the division lines of the lots as practicable, five per cent, being allowed for that object.

10th. With reference to the Crown and Clergy Reservations, you will be governed
by the diagram hereunto subjoined ; and you are to refrain from granting such parts of
the Township under your superintendance, as you may think proper to be retained in
the power of the Crown, for its future disposition, according; to the circumstances
accompanying the settlement of that Township, of which you will give an early com-
municaton to Government. ,

11th. You are to consider yourself as the guardian of the ungranted lands of the
Crown, and of the Reservations in block, or otherwise, set apart for the future disposi-
tion of His Majesty, within the limits of the Township under your superintendance ; and
as such you are to report to this office the trespass and depredations committed there-
on, that instructions may in consequence be given to the Law Officers of the Crown, to
prosecute the individuals concerned.

I2th. You will be entitled to a per-centage of five acres on every hundred located
by you as Agent, and it will be optional with you to take in each range your per-centage
on the lands located therein, or to select it in block in the rear of each half of the
Township ; but it is to be understood that the same will be secured to you by Letters
Patent, so soon only as the conditions of settlement shall have been complied with by
the settlers on their respecti^'e lots.

13th. In consideration of postage, stationery, &c. you will be entitled to demand for
yourself, upon each Location made by you, a sum of two shillings and six-pence, ac-
counting to the Surveyor-General for his fees.

14th. You will consider yourself as linked with this, the office of His Majesty's Sur-
veyor-General, and from whom you shall receive from time io time, such further com-
munications as the exigency and nature of this branch of the public service may require,
and through him make all your reports or communications to the Governor.
