 *\V^^T.*^® "T^^^ Grauts and HomesfceaUa Act," Cliapfcer 25 
 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario (a copy of wLich will be 
 found at Pa^e — ), Public Lauds which have been sur- 
 veyed, aud are considered suitable for settlemeut and culti- 
 vation, and not valuable chiefly for minerals or pine timber, 
 may be appropriated as Free Grants ; but such appropriations 
 are to be confined to lands within the Districts of Al<joma and 
 _ Nipissmg and that tract or territory lying between the 
 ^.^ Ottawa Biver and the Georgian Bay, and comprising the 
 .northerly portions of the Counties of Renfrew, Frouteuac, 
 ^?^ rvT T^".°°' ^^stmgs, Peterborough, Victoria and Simcoe.and 
 ■the Districts of JMuakoka and Parry Sound. 
 
 2. To obtain a Free Girant, the applicant must make appli- 
 cation to the local Crown Land agent, in whose agency the 
 laud desired is situated, and deposit with him the necessary 
 . athdavits. Although no fees are charged by the Depart- 
 : ment, or allowed to the land agents for locating, yet if 
 .required to prepare the necessary affidavits, the agent mav 
 make a reasonable charge for so doing. 
 
 ^. ?r 'Two hundred acres is the limit of the Act. therefore no 
 
 individual can obtain more than that quantity as a Free 
 
 Grant, and if the laud selected exceeds the 200 acres, the 
 
 applicant must pay for the overplus at the price fixed by the 
 
 Itogniations. A sim/le man over eiyhteen jjears of age, or a 
 
 ^fnurned man wUliont children under eighteen residing with him, it 
 
 ■^entitled to a grant of 100 acres. But in case it shall be shown 
 
 ■ -rfy satiaf-ctory evidence that a considerable proportion of the 
 
 land, selected by an applicant who comes under ei<;her of these 
 
 headings, cannot be made available for farming purposes on 
 
 account of rock, swamp or lake, the Commissiouer of Crown 
 
 Lands may make an allowance for such waste land, and may 
 
 •jncreaae the quantity of land located to such applicant to any 
 
 number of acres not exceeding in the whole 200 acres. 7 jte 
 
 mats head of a family, or the sole female lieadof a family, having 
 
 -a chUd or children under eighteen years of age residing with him 
 
 .jor her, mag be located for WO acres as a Free Grant ; and mitf 
 
 u^also purchase an additional 100 acres at the rate of Jiftv cents 
 
 -• per acre, cash. J J J" J ^"*'

 7. In case the locafcee fails to perform the settlement duties 
 required by law, his location i liable to forfeiture, aud may 
 be cancelled by the Gommisaiouer of Crown Lauds. Applica- 
 tiona for cancellation must be made throuob the local agent, 
 and be supported by the allidavits of the applicant aud at 
 least two credible witnesses, who will show what the present 
 position of the lot is: whether the locatee ever occupied or 
 improved, and, if so, to what extent, aud the value of the im- 
 provements ; when he ceased to occupy; aud his address, if 
 known Upon the receipt o\' this evidence the ajjent will, if 
 he can ascertain the address of the locatee, notify him of the 
 application, aud call upon him to disprove tho allegations, or 
 show cause why his location should not be cancelled within 
 thirty days. At the expiration of that time the H^^ent will 
 transmit the evidence, with auythiug he may have received 
 from the locatee in reply, aud his own report to the Depart- 
 ment. 
 
 8. The ass-ynment or mnrtfjaoe of a homestead from a 
 locat'ie to another ]>arty before the issue of his patent is in- 
 valid, and cannot be recognized by the Department. This 
 does not, however, apply to the davise of a Free Grant lot by 
 will, nor to transfers ot land by a locatee for church, cemetery 
 or school purposes, or the ri«ht of way of railroatlB. 
 
 9. All pino trees and minerals on land located or sold under 
 the Free Gr.mis Act are r(?«-erved from the location or sale, 
 and are the property of the Crown ; and the Conimissiouer of 
 Crown Lanils may at any time issue a license to cut the pine 
 on such land. The locatee may, however, cut aud use such 
 pine trees as he reijuires for building and fencing on his land, 
 and also for firewood, an 1 may also cut and dispone of any 
 pine trees he meets within the actual process of clearing his 
 land for cultivation ; but any trt-es so disposed of are subject 
 to the payment of the same dues as ore payable by license- 
 holders, i.". $1.00 per 1,000 feet, hoard measure. If a locatee 
 has not timber upon his lot for buildings t&c, be cannot take 
 from adjoining lot. 
 
 Holders of timber licenses have the right to haul their 
 timber over the uncleared portion of any land located or sold, 
 and to make such roads as may be necessary for the purpose, 
 and to use all slides, portages and roads, and to have free 
 access to all streams and lakes. 
 
 10. The Crown re«erves the right to construct on any land 
 located or sold, any Colonization Road, or deviation from the 
 Government allowance lor road ; ami to take from such land, 
 without compensation, any timber, gravel or material reijuired 
 for the construction or improvement of any such road. 
 
 11. Any conveyance, mortgage? or alienation (except a will) 
 of the land located, by a locatee i."?ir the issue of patent, and 
 within twenty years from location, will be invalid unless it he 
 by deed in which his wife is one of the grantors, and unless it 
 be duly executed by her. 
 
 12. The land while owned by the locatee, his widow or 
 
 '■ii- 
 

 
 Ill 
 
11 
 
 heira, shall be exempt from liability for debt duriu*' twenty 
 years from the date of location. This exeiuptiou do^n not, 
 however, extend to a .sale for taxes legally imposed. 
 
 13. \yhen a Free Grant locatee dies before the completion 
 of his title, his representatives may continue the settlement 
 duties and obtain a patent at the proper time upon tihiig the 
 requisite proof. If he dies belore the 1st July, 188G, in- 
 testate, evidence ia required of the date of death and that he 
 died intestate, giving tWe name of his widow, and the number 
 aud names of ail his children, and if he left no wife or children, 
 the name of his heir must be given ; if he made a will, it must 
 be sent in with proper proof of due execution according to law. 
 If he died after the 1st July, 188G, probate or letters of 
 administration to the real and personal estate, as the case 
 may be, must be seat. 
 
 Where a locatee dies, whether before or after issue of 
 patent, leaving a widow, she is entitled to the land during her 
 widowhood in lieu of dower, unless she prefers to take her 
 dower instead. 
 
 14. In making application for land, and in filing proof in 
 support of applications for cancellation of a location, or for 
 issue of patent, the applicant will save time and unnecessary 
 trouble by tiling his papers with, or mailing them to, the 
 Crown Land Agent in whose agency the land is situated, as on 
 account of the agent's local knowledge of the lauds he has to

 attached to all such applications. 
 
 15. Lands located or sold under the Free Grants and Home- 
 steads Act, or the regulations made thereunder, are liable to 
 taxation from the date of such location or sale, and where 
 taxes assessed on such land are in arrears for three years, the 
 interest of the locatee or purchaser may be sold in the manner 
 prescribed by law. When the tax-purchaser receives his deed 
 unless legal proceedings be taken to question it by some per- 
 son interested within two years from the date of sale, he 
 acquires the right and interest of the locatee or purchaser, and 
 may obtain a patent on completion of the original conditions 
 of location or sale.

 should file his deed in the Department, and two years after 
 tne date of the sale for taxes, should file evidence showing 
 that no action has been taken to question his title, that there 
 13 no adverse claim on the ground of occupation or improve-' 
 ments, and that all arrears of taxes have been paid since he 
 purchased (See^Revised Statutes (1887). Cap. 193, sections 159,- 
 IGO and^lTl, and Cap. 24, section 18.) A nd in order to obtain 
 a p.a„ftn^ .0? i,ae »3nd, as a free grant, the tax-purchaser must 
 also show that he has performed the settlement duties re- 
 quired by the 1 ree Grants and Homesteads Act. and that ho 
 has not already received the benefit of the said Act. or if he ■ 
 has received a grant of all the land wbtoh it allows him, that

 NOTES FOR LUMBERMEN, LICENSEES, &c. 
 
 1 . License for timber applies to pine only on lauds located 
 or sold in Free Grant Territory, which have been located or 
 Bold prior-to date of license. Locatee is entitled to all the 
 other timber. 
 
 2. Licenses may be granted for lots which have formerly 
 hfien in license where, location has bean cancelled or consent 
 of previous licensee being tiled. 
 
 .". Not ■ No '2 refers to cas^s where the lots have at some 
 previous time been sold in a limit or sonie public auction sale 
 of piue lands, but have been withdrawn from license upon 
 location, and the Department of Crown Lauds has not been 
 requested by the previous licensee from having them again 
 added to his license. 
 
 4. Where a lot has been dropped from a license either on 
 account of location period having expired or other reasons, it 
 cannot be restored to or put under license unless it is shown 
 either byinspection at expense of applicaut.or reliable evidence 
 under oath, that the lot is unoccupied and unimproved, and 
 the whereabouts of the locatee, if ascertainable, and upon the 
 state of the lots as regards improvements, residence, etc., 
 would depend the action taken by the Department. 
 
 ^- Under the Amendroant to the Free Orantj and Home- 
 stead3 Ad, passed in 1880, it was enacted that patentees of 
 lands located subsequent to 5th M^rch, 1880, are entitletl to 
 a moiety of the Crown dues collected on square pine timber 
 and pine sawlogs cut under timber license upon such lands 
 after the 80th day of April (that being the day that all licenses 
 expire) following date of patent, and upon which dues have 
 beeu collected by the Crown, the sum of twenty-five cents on 
 each 1000 feet, board measure, of saw logs, and three dollars 
 on each thousand cubic feet of square or waney pine timber. 
 
 0. It is uow incumbent ou all licensees that they shall each 
 year or season make a separate sworn return of the quantity 
 Of pme timber or pine sawlogs cut upon each lot appearing in 
 their licsuHf --'--■-'- «- . • i . ^ *• . . '^ . ^ .

 7. Under Revised Statutes Ontario, chapter 20 and amend- 
 meut thereto, 44 Vic. chapter 2, if a Municipality pass a By- 
 law for preserving or selling timber on Government Road 
 Allowances within the Township, said By-law has to be tiled 
 within six months from the passing thereof; and under the 
 Act in question a sum equal to two per centum of the dues 
 received by the Crown on timber and logs cut within the 
 Township under the authority of any Crown timber license is 
 what the municipality is entitled to. The amount is paid to 
 the Treasurer of the Township after the returns from the 
 different licensees are checked at the Crown Timber Office, 
 Toronto. 
 
 8. Licensees of Crown timber limits covering allowanca 
 for roads are not liable for cutting timber on road allowances, 
 under the authority of the Crown, where no steps have been 
 taken by the Municipality to pass a By-law dealing with such 
 timber. But after passage of such By-law the Municipality 
 may sue the licensee for cutting such timber, even though the 
 licenses were granted before the By-law — the licenhees at the 
 time of cntting having had notice of such By-law. 
 
 ^' Ownership of timber on road allowances is vested in the 
 MunicipaUty, subject to the rights of the Crown. 
 
 10' If a license has priority of date over sale, the Courts 
 have held that the license is in the nature of a le£ise or deed, 
 and is valid over all pine timber during its currency, and npon 
 renewal it would be held to cover pine only on such lots as 
 had been sold or located before the date of such renewal. 
 
 11 A squatter has no legal right to timber cut in the coarse of 
 clearing and should a license be current the licensee might 
 claim the timber, even though cut in course of clearing. It 
 is not nntil a man becomes a locates that the law de^nes his 
 right. 
 
 12. Timber on Indian Lands belongs to the Dominion, and 
 any applications for licenses must be made to the Indian De- 
 partment, Ottawa, Canada. 
 
 13. The duty chargeable on logs covers' also the [bark 
 whether on or off. The charge on bark being|.made||only 
 when it has been peeled forjtanning. ^^ tStiZ^ 
 
 ' '^ 3^a» 
 
 14. There is an exportlduty of two dollars'' per thousand 
 feet, board measure, on ''all unmanufacturedj pine timber 
 shipped to the United States or other foreign ports. No 
 export doty is charged on manufactured timber. 
 
 15. Permits are granted to cut burnt timber in the Thunder , 
 Bay District by Wm. Margach, Crown Timber Agent, Port I 
 Arthur. . 
 
 16. Permits are granted to cut cordwood in Rainy River 
 District by A. F. Dulmage, Rat Portage. 
 
 17. All Crown timber licenses must be signed by either

 which by subsequent events he may from time to time become 
 entitled. 49 V. c. 16, s. 48.

 plaintiff in the said action or other proceeding, or is a de- 
 fendant therein proceeding by way of counter-claim ; but the 
 said section shall not apply where, in the opinion of the Court 
 or Judge the injury, damage or interference complained of is
