The Executive, on the reprosentations made to them from various parts of the Province, have deemed it advisable to modify the terms lately established fur the sale of Clergy Reserves, and a public notice to that effect will appear in the Gazette of this day. Your attention is therefore requested to the following directions, which supersede part of your former instructions respecting the sales of Clergy Reserves. 1st — One Tenth only, (instead of One Third) of the Purchase Money will, from this date, be required in hand, and the remainder in nine equal annual instalments of One Tenth each, payable on the 1st of January in each year, with interest, from date of Sale, the flr*t of which to fall due and be payable on the 1st of January next ensuing after the day of Sale. 2nd — On Lots occupied without authority, in place of interest, as required by the lite regulations, rent will be charged for the time of occupation, at the followmg rates, v\x : IN UPPER CANADA, For the First 7 years, 35s. per annum. Second 7 ditto, 703. ditto, Third 7 ditto, 103s. ditto, IN LOWER CANADA, For the First Second Third 7 years, 25s. per annum, 7 dilto, oOs. ditto, 7 dilto, 75s. ditto. On Lots of 200 Acres, and in pro- portion fur half Lots. 3rd — The privilege of pre-emption granted by the late regulations to lessees or their assigns whoso leases expired previous lo tlio 1st day of January 1841, as also to occupant* of Clergy Lots without aulhority |)revi()us to same date, shall not be considered to extend to such lessees or their assiiftices, or to such Occupants as do not on or before the 1st January 1847, miik(! application to the (Aimmissionor of Crown Lands for the purchase of the ("lergy lots which ihoy respectively oix'iipy, and who do not on or before that day pay all rents which may bo duo, acci)rdiiig to the present regulations. 4th — It will be an express condition of all Sales of Clergy Reservps, that the purcha- ser shall not cut or remove any timber (except (or the purposes of clearing and building on the land) until the whole of the purchase money shall have been paid. The rent to bo charged is uniform in each section of the Province upon all lots occu- pied without reference to lliisir respective value; llioro may thereTiro be cases in which, owiii^; to the disliiiice of the land from ntiv nuiikel, the badness of the soil or other circum- stances, the full rent, at the riito sin'cified, wooM bo a tieiivier charge than the land could bear, and niiuhi swell the price of it beyond its actual value including imi)rovemeiits. It will be voiir dutv U; report such cases for the consideration of the Departinenf, •taling particulaily the oirciiin-iiinccs of each, and suggesting at the same time what would be in your opinion a fair and e(|uitablc charge. In some instances, Occupants, although willing, have reprpsentod themselves unnble to pay down the One Third of the PMichase Moiii'v required by the late n'gnlalioiis, together with all the arrears of Rent. The extension now graiitcil for the payment of the principal will in a great measure meet the re(|uiicinents of such cases. It would be more in accordance with the wishes of the Oovernment, and no doubt more for the interest of the purchasers, that the entire aujount of aireiirs shonld be jiaid at the time of purchase, and (his rule iiHist be adhered to when |)rarlical)le. Yet, in particular CQSei when the arrears will amount to a largo sum, or when from other causes the occupant will o;\ ^^> ^Q.>fi -^>^ (I4> 2 be totally unable to pay the amount of arrears in hand, the Department will not object to add the latter to the principal, and receive instalments on the whole. In all such cases two in place of one instalment of ten per cent, will be required. For instance, on a lot of 100 Acres valued at 10s. per Acre the price will amount to £50 Supposing this lot to have been occupied 8 years, the charge for arrears will be as follows ; — Seven years at 17s. 6d. (for U. C. ) £6 2 6 One year at 35s. do 1 15 £ 7 17 6 Making altogether the sum of £57 17 6 Two Tenths of which will be £11 lis. 6d., and £5 15s. 9d. for each following instalment. It will be necessary in all such cases that the arrears of Rent shouhl be represented by a proportionate increase, on account of improvements, in the price of the Lot per Acre, and returned as such. The Sale of (he above Lot might therefore be inserted in the Monthly Heturn nsmade for 13s. I^d. per Acre, to cover Principal and Arrears. To simplify the operation, any fraction under or over a half-penny might be left out in the calculation of the rate per Acre. The price of the above Lot would in that case be reduced to 13s. IJd. per Acre, and amount altogether to £65 12s. 6d. In all cases of application for the purchase of occupied Clergy Reserves, the parties in possession must bo required to furnish to the Agent an affidavit from two neighbours, shewing the perioer, he will have to apply for permission to do so to the Resident .^^rcnt, who, befure granting the same, will insist on the value of the Timber to be cut being paid in hand, or will secure (he nniount thereof by Bonds payable within a period of nine months from (he date of (ho permission, (o be signed by (he Applican(, with two good Sureties ; the proceeds to he applied in part liquidation of the Purchase Money. Sales already made under the late regulations, and on which interest and One Third of the Purchase Nioney have been paid, are not to be disturbed, hut, if desired, the pavment of future instalments may ht) ilelayod and divided so as to extend them over the term of nine years now allowed to Purcha^^rs, lakini; care to bring all such future instalments into decimal portions ot the original amount of pure huse. Rents (m leased Clergy Reserves in Upper Canada are, as heretofore, to be collec(ed by Mr. Baines, at Toronto. You will give as much publicity as possible to the no(ice before alluded (o, copies of which will bo sent to you for that purpose, and particularly (o (hat part of it which referi to the future occupation of Clergy Lands wi(hout authority. I have the honor (o be, Sir, Your Obedient Servant, : ..: ^V^Vf
