And vvhereas the Capital Stock of sai<l Company,
represented b}- lands held by them in fee simi)le.

of the value of at least seventy-five thousand dollars.

And whereas at least tl.ree hundred thousand
dollars stock has been subscribed for in said Com-
pany, and at least twenty-five per cent, thereof has
been actually paid in cash, and the siiareholders are
desirous of being incor[)0!ated under an Act of this
Province. 15e it therefore enacted by the Governor,
Council and Assembly as follows :

First. — The said "'The Nova Scotia Sugar Kefm- Niuik-, &c,
cry," and the shareholders in that Company, their
successors and assigns shall be and are hereby declar-
ed to be a body politic, and corporate by the name of

purpose of purchasing and holding such lands and
other property, of erecting and constructing such
buildings, wharves and machinery, as may be neces-
sar}' or useful for refining sugar from raw or Jinrefiued

modities connected therewith, and also for the further
