   Lands to withdraw this timber from sale either before or
   after the date for receipt of tenders.

3. The aforementioned quantities, qualities, and kinds as
   to the said timber shall be taken as sufficiently accurate for
   the purpose of this sale, and no contract for purchase shall
   be voidable, nor shall the successful purchaser be entitled to
   any abatement in price, by reason of the said timber being
   of less quantity, quality, and kind than as stated herein, or
   in any advertisement having reference to the said timber,
   nor shall any extra sum be claimed by the Crown if the said
   quantity of timber is found to be in excess of that stated

   less than the upset price stated herein.

8. Any breach of the foregoing conditions of sale will render
   the "on demand" promissory notes liable to be presented

   and this timber is submitted for sale subject to the final
