When a pnrrhr. r rr le;;.d he-Mer rf land wishes to rel'iiqui-di any put therer-f, no matter how sm ill that pat t may be, and no matter how great the quantity held by him, he must tile a r liv::: ishm-r:t, which, as before stated, mut include all the tracts for which he wishes relief. The whole amount of land ow ned by him is thus di ided into la"d relinquished and land::ot rtlin:uif.rd. 14. All sums paid on account of the purch se money of the land r tin , 'UlsJu d, are to be transferred and applied to the payment of ihvanrf net v ii::;uihed,'m such a manner as to complt tc the pa ment of the greatest number of h tl f" puarter sections, or smallest legal suhdi ision of fractional sections. The manner in which the distribution of the nim heretofore paid on land relinquished, is to be mmle, to complete the payment of l:nd not relinquished, is to be determine d by the Register of the Land Office where the land uas purchased. 15. All tracts or parts rf tracts unpaid for bv the transfer of pavnients, will be fur

ther credited, according to the second me b

retain i and, if lie does not appear at the of relief before suud (4, and explained

here after 29.) The purchaser may, however, pay the b dance due on any tract or part of a tract, ( a part bein relinquished.) which would otherwise be further credited, in cash, at the time of relinquishment ; for doing which he will he allowed a diccu: of thirty seven and a half per cent, on the amount of balance. 16. If the purchaser wishes to pav the whole amount due, or to become due from him to the United States, by relinquishi'i $ just so much land as will enable him toco. -j-plete the payment of his land not relinquished, it may happen that the sum paid on ihi land relinquished will either short of cr exceed, the amount due, or to become due, c.n the land not relinquished, as he can relinquish parts of tracts onlv in the manner already laid down, ( 7 and 8 ) 1 7. If it fall short cf the amount required, he may pay this dfcirney, or bafmcs due, by cash, at the deduction of thirtyseven and a half per cent, or have the part of the tract on which such d'fciencu f.dlii further credited, ( 15, ) which is to be understood ns his intention if he does not pav it in cash at the discount, at the time cf relinquishment. 11?. If it exceed the amount required, hct must e ither for feit this excess, for he rrmnot claim any re-payment from the United States, or lie mubt relinquish a hxlf-qu irter section less, or quarter section, if he cannr.t relinquish v th m i quarter sectha ( 7 ) so as to m ike a d ficiencj or balane, due fro n him to the United States which may be paid by Cash ; or the part i a tract on which it falls may be further credited as before ( 17.) 19 The party must make hh ca!cula

lions oe tore lie signs and hies his relinquishment. He will always be safe in making hi calculations, to relinquish in such manner as to have a balance due from him to the United States, if the sums paid on land relinquished will not exactly meet the pavnu nts to be made on the land not n liny'nish , when it is his intention to pav, if possible, the! whole debt to the United "States for public land. 20. Rut when the purchaser intends to discharge a part, only, of the debt to the linked States, by relinquishment, the sum-, paid on laud relinquished will be so tramL rred and applied by the Register as to complete the payment of the greatest number of half-quarter sections of the land not nlinquished, and the balance remaining due n any tract, or part of a tr act, ( a part being relinquished, )will be further credited, if iiot paid, at the time the relinquishment is filed, by rash and discount. 21. Discount allow- d on payment heretofore made on land relinquished, is t be considered a part of the sums to be transferred to complete the payment of land not reI in uish-'d. 22. In'nrit paid on payments heretr.fj re made on land relinquish, d is not to be considered a part of the sums t-bj ;r.irivfeiud to complete the payment of land not .Vi. quishtd. 23. Payments made upon laud r fi? niched in one district cannt b carried t ;hc credit of payments due in another; as c transactions of different 1 ;n;l oifkes caiiuot be bh nded together. 24. The Register's certificate for each and eery tract c f land held bv the parte relinquishing, niut be surrendered at tiie time the t iinquishment is tiled. 25. If a certificate be lost, the purchaser, or person lcgallv entitled tr. the land, must file niththe Register, ia lieu thereof the following document, as proof of its ss viz: After ad cubing the lost tcrtitieatc nine times in a public newspaper, andpiw: icing a certificate or aff:dait of the prh ter as to the number of insertions, thco;ar must produce satisfactory evidence of V c loss, under oath, and of its being uucor.v cd to any other person ; and, where tin it c : -tiricate conn ins a tn-n&ftr ..m a piv u ; owner, a deposition to t!i.t i tll( t Iiv the witnesses, or a duplicate Ctiivaaee of t ic land, will be necessary, unit ss the :.s.g;..c should liae t ike-n the pieeaution lo b the evidence of transfer l'gallt nrord. d ; n which case, an authenticated ccpy of the record will suffice.
