Lieutenant Governor's Office, April 26th, 1819. SIR, I am directed by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, to reply to your letter of the 15th inst. in explanation of those particular points on which you, in the name of the Land Board of the Newcastle District, solicit more precise information than that contained in the faistructions transmitted to you by the Clerk of the Executive Council. In the first place — ^With regard to such other persons besides Emigrants, as the Board may be authorised to grant Locations to, I am to explain to you, that by such " other persons," are to be understood such able settler3 as resided in the District before the late War, and produce due certificates of having done their duty in its defence. Secondly— With regard to Military claimants. No Military claimant, as such, is referred to the Board : — being to receive their Lands gi'atuitously in the Military Settlement, any dispensation of that sort must be approved on ap- plication to the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Thirdly. — The Sons and Daughters of U. E. Loyalists being entitled to gratuitous Grants of 200 Acres, must apply to the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Fourthly. — Persona arriving from the United States, and bringing due cer- tificates of their being British born Subjects, are admissible by the Board. Fifthly. — A form ofTickct of Location, will be transmitted to the Chairman of the Board, in which will be specified the conditions of settlement. Sixthly. — His Excellency is of opinion that the presence of the Chairman is not necessary at every meeting of the Board : any three of the Members con- stitute a Board, and may proceed to act accordingly. Seventhly. — The Settler should be thoroughly instructed that in the event of his finding any improvement on the Lot to which he may be located, he is immediately to return with his Ticket of Location to the Board, and report the circumstance for the information of the Government. Should he fail in this particular, he can expect no confirmation of the Grant to him. In this case the Boiird will appoint him another Location. Eighthly.— With regard to the dilficulty that may be experienced by the Settler in finding his particular Lot : Wis Excellency bids me observe, that in order to r-emunerate the person who miglit be employed to point it out to him, the Settler must be burthenod with another Fee; and as in the case of persons located by the Surveyor GencrarH ollice, no such precaution is practised. His Excellency does not perceive the necessity of l!ic rogulalion. I am, &:c. (Sigiiril) GEO. niLLlER, /*. Stc't/.
