 league and a half in depth, and was granted,

 property of Mrs. Barrow. 



Louise de Ramzay is a small piece of land, 

 about a league and a half superficial, of a trian- 

 gular form, lying in the rear of the seigniory of 

 Sorel, between those of St. Ours, Bourchemin, 

 and Bonsecours; granted, June 18, 1739> to 

 the Demoiselles Angelique, Louise, and Eliza- 

 beth de Ramzay. 



Bonsecours (the seigniory of), lies between 

 the seigniory of Sorel and the river Yamaska, 

 having the seigniory of Yamaska for its north- 

 eastern boundary; it is seventy-four French 

 arpens broad by two leagues deep; granted, 

 April 16, 1678, to Sieur Villeneuve, and now 

 possessed by Mrs. Barrow. The same kind of 

 land prevails generally throughout these four 

 several concessions, of which but a small part 

 can be deemed of superior quality. Bourche- 

 min, where the Yamaska runs through it, is the 

 best settled, but even there cultivation has not 

 made a very favourable progress ; in fact, much 

 the largest proportion of each grant still re- 

 mains covered with its natural wood : amons: 

 it a little good timber may be found; but the 

 inferior species are abundant enough.
