VI.-GENERAL PROVISIONS.

32. In any case of claim or grant, when the particular lands
    which would otherwise have been directed to be granted shall
    have been alienated by Government, the Commissioners may
    direct a Grant to be made of other lands, being part of the de-
    mesne lands of the Crown in the Province in which the claim
    arises, by way of compensation for the original claim. In esti-
    mating the quantity of compensation land to be given as last
    aforesaid, the Commissioners shall estimate the same by the
    amount realised upon such alienation of the land comprised in
    the original claim, but in no case shall the original land be esti-
    mated as having realised more than one pound per acre.
