FEBRUARY THE 15TH, 1855.

General.

I. The Superintendent shall from time to
time, by proclamation in the Government
Gazette, notify all new districts which shall
be open to general purchase, with the boun-
daries and contents thereof, as nearly as the
same can be ascertained.

Reserves.

II. All Reserves for the sites of townships,
or town, and suburban land, for the sites of
agricultural and small farm settlements, or for
any other purpose of public advantage, safety,
convenience, health, or enjoyment, shall be
determined by the Superintendent, who shall
notify the same by Proclamation, wherein the
objects shall be specified for which every re-
serve may be made.

III. In every district, ample reserves for the
sites of agricultural and small farm settlements
shall be made before the lands in such dis-
tricts shall be thrown open to general pur-
chase.

IV. Whenever any Association shall be
formed for promoting the settlement and oc-
cupation of any reserve set apart for the site
of small farms, and shall propose to the Super-
intendent a plan containing special rules for
encouraging such settlement and occupation,
it shall be lawful for the Superintendent, on
being satisfied of the probable ability of such
Association, to effect the speedy settlement of
such reserve, by Proclamation, to vest the ad-
ministration of the land within such reserve,
according to such special rules in Commis-
sioners appointed by such Association, for a
period not exceeding three years: Provided
always, that the land shall be sold by such
Association at the fixed price of ten shillings
per acre, payable in cash to the Commissioner
from time to time, immediately on the sale of
every allotment.

V. Whenever any reserve shall have been
so made for the site of a small farm settlement,
a block of the adjacent land, as nearly as may
be in extent one-third of the reserve, shall by
Proclamation be annexed to the reserve as
common land, upon which, as well as upon all
unsold lands within the reserve, every resident
occupier of land in the reserve shall have a
right of pasturage for a period of three years
from the date of such Proclamation, the pro-
portionate commonage of each occupier to be
fixed by the Association; and during such
term none of the said common land so an-
nexed outside the reserve block shall be sold,
nor any license for a run issued therein. At
the expiration of such term, it shall be lawful
for the Superintendent either to renew the
same for a further period of three years, or to
open the land for sale after public notice
thereof for not less than three months.

VI. In every block which shall be set apart
for the site of a township, or agricultural or
small farm settlement, a reserve shall be made
of bush land not less than one-twentieth of
the whole extent of bush land within the
limits of such block; or if there be no bush
land thereon, then a sufficient reserve shall be
made from the bush land outside such block,
and most convenient thereto; the timber in
which reserve shall be exclusively used in
common by the resident occupiers of the land
in the block for consumption thereon, but not
for sale to any persons not occupiers;
and any other persons felling or removing
timber from such reserve shall be proceeded
against as is by law provided in respect to
trespassers on Crown land.

VII. It shall be the duty of the Superin-
tendent to make in every district a reserve not
exceeding one-thirtieth part of the public
lands for the purposes of education; such
lands to be vested in a Board of Commis-
sioners for educational purposes, and the pro-
ceeds thereof, as sold, to be applied to such
special educational objects as may be pre-
scribed by Acts of the Provincial Legisla-
ture.

VIII. It shall be the duty of the Superin-
tendent to make reserves where the public
