out, showing the sections to be submitted for
sale, and the public revenues in connection
with them.

27. Town sections may be put up to auction,
    either by order of the Superintendent, or upon
    the application of some person who shall, at
    the time of making such application, deposit
    ten per cent. of the upset price with the
    Treasurer of the Waste Lands Board. Such
    deposit shall, if no advance on the upset price
    be made, be considered as the deposit upon
    the sale at such public auction.

28. If any section shall be purchased by
    other than the original applicant the deposit
    money shall be forthwith returned on demand.

29. Ten days at least before any such
    auction sale, a list of all the sections about to
    be offered for sale shall be published in the
    Government Gazette, and one or more news-
    papers of the Province.

30. Every auction sale of land shall be
    held by the Commissioners in open court as
    hereinbefore provided.

31. The person who shall be declared the
    highest bidder at such auction, shall imme-
    diately pay a deposit of ten per cent. of the
    purchase money to the Treasurer, and, in
    default thereof, the section shall be again im-
    mediately put up to auction.

32. The remainder of the purchase money,
    shall be paid to the Treasurer in full, within
    one week after the day of sale; and, in de-
    fault thereof, the purchaser shall forfeit his
    deposit money, and also all right or title to
    the land. And the section may be so'd to
    any person applying for the same
    for the price at which it was knocked
    down at the auction; and if not so sold, the
    section may be again put up to auction at
    any future sale.

33. Immediately on the payment of the
    purchase money in foll, the purchaser shall
    receive from the Commissioners a "License
    to occupy," in the form set forth in the Sche-
    dule A hereto annexed, which he shall return
    again to the Commissioners when he shall re-
    ceive the Crown Grant of the Land. Such
    "Licence to occupy" shall be transferable by
    endorsement, in the form set forth in the
    Schedule.

VII.---Rural Land.

34. All lands not included in any of the
    foregoing regulations shall be open for sale
    as rural land, at a uniform price of forty shil-
    lings per acre,

35. No section of rural land shall be sold
    containing less than twenty acres; provided
    that any section so limited by frontage lines
    or private lands as to contain less than twenty
    acres, may be sold by auction at the upset
    price of forty shillings per acre, the time and
    place of sale, and the mode of sale and pay-
    ment of purchase money to be as nearly as
    may be in accordance with the regulations
    herein contained, applicable to the sale of
    Town Land.

36. Every section of rural land shall be
    in one block, and except as hereinafter pro-
    vided, of a rectanglular form, and if bounded
    by a frontage line shall be of a depth of half-
    a-mile (or 40 chains) from such frontage.
    NOTE.—A frontage line shall be taken to
    mean the boundary of a road, river, or public
    reserve, or any stream or watercourse which
    shall have been declared by notification in
    the Government Gazette, to constitute a
    frontage for the purpose of selection.

37. Where from the frontage not being a
    straight line or from the interference of other
    frontage lines, natural features, or the boun-
    daries of private lands, the above rules in
    respect of form cannot be accurately observed;
    the form of the section shall be determined as
    nearly in accordance with these rules as, in
    the judgment of the Board circumstances will
    admit.

38. In sections of land not adjacent to
    or bounded by a frontage line, all the sides
    may be equal, but one side may not be less
    than one-third of the other, and such section
    shall not be less than half-a-mile distant from
    a frontage line.

39. Any person possessing a section of land
    may at any time select another adjacent there-
    to, of such form, that the two together being
    considered as one section, shall be in the form
    required for a single section under the fore-
    going rules.

40. Immediately on the payment of the
    purchase money, the purchaser shall receive
    from the Commissioners a "License to
    occupy," in the form set forth in the schedule
    B hereto annexed; and as soon thereafter as
    conveniently may be, the land shall be laid
    off by a Government Surveyor as nearly in
    accordance with the description given by the
    purchaser in his application as these regula-
    tions will admit; provided that whenever the
    lands selected lie without the surveyed Dis-
    tricts, the expense of the Survey and of con-
    necting such survey with the existing surveys
    shall be borne by the purchaser who shall at
    the time of purchase deposit the amount of
    the estimated cost of such surveys with the
    Treasurer of the Waste Lands Board, which
    shall be made as soon as practicable by order
    of the Chief Surveyor. Provided always that
    should any section when surveyed prove to
    differ in any respect from that intended by the
    purchaser, the Government will not be re-
    sponsible for any loss or inconvenience which
    purchaser may experience, nor will the
    purchase money be returned. Provided also
    that if the Surveyor shall find that the whole
    extent of land in the selected locality falls
    short of the quantity paid for by the pur-
    chaser, the Treasurer shall repay so much of
    the purchase money as exceeds the price of
    the land to be conveyed. The "License to
    occupy" shall, in any such case, be amended
    by the Commissioners in accordance with the
    report of the Surveyor, and the Crown Grant
    shall be made out in accordance therewith;
    and the "License" shall be returned to the
