Company, and private individuals, and may be had at all times 

 to a reasonable extent. The crown lands are disposed of ac 

 cording to the following document : 



&quot; GOVERNMENT LANDS. 



&quot; In conformity to instructions recently received from his Majesty s 

 Secretary of State for the Colonies, the following arrangements for dispo 

 sing of the waste lands of the crown in Upper Canada, are made known 

 for the information of emigrants and others. 



&quot; Except in the case of U. E. Loyalists, and other persons entitled by 

 the existing regulations of the government to free grants, no person can 

 obtain any of the waste lands of the crown otherwise than by purchasing 

 at the public sales, made from time to time under the direction of the com 

 missioner of crown lands. 



&quot; These sales will be made on the first and third Tuesday of each 

 month, and will either be continued through the following day or not, as 

 circumstances may appear to the agent to require. 



&quot; They will be held at the following places : 



&quot; At By town, for the district of Bathurst. 



&quot; At Belleville, for the midland district. 



&quot; At Peterborough, for the district of Newcastle. 



&quot; At York, for the home district. 



&quot; At Hamilton, for the district of Gore. 



&quot; At London, for the district of London. 



&quot; At Chatham, for the western district. 



&quot; Besides these general periodical sales, there may be occasional sales 

 by auction in other districts, of such town lots, or other lots of land as may 

 remain to be disposed of; and of these sales ample notice will be given. 



&quot; The conditions of every sale by public auction will be as follows : 

 One fourth of the purchase money to be paid down, and the remainder in 

 three equal annual instalments, with interest at six per cent on each instal 

 ment, payable with the instalment. 



&quot; The lands will be put up at an upset price, of which notice will be 

 given at the time of sale, and in the previous advertisements which will 

 be published of the lands intended to be put up at each sale ; and in cast- 

 no offer shall be made at the upset price, the land will be reserved for 

 future sale in a similar manner by auction. 



&quot; A patent for the lands will be issued free of charge upon the payment 

 in full of the purchase money and interest. 



&quot; The regular periodical sales will be held for the first time as follows : 

 In Peterborough, York, and Hamilton, on the third Tuesday in June 

 next ; and in Bytown, Belleville, London, and Chatham, on the first 

 Tuesday in July next ; and they will continue to be held at all those 

 places on the first and third Tuesdays in each month, until after the first 

 Tuesday in November next ; when such other arrangements as may be 

 made by the government will be announced.
