General Land Orricr, July 22, lb31 Gentlemen: Annexed is a copy of an

rights to settlers on tlie public lands,' ap
proved May twenty-ninth, one thousand
cifht hundred and thirty,' together with
a copy of the former act.
1st. J be recent act provides "Mat ev
ery settler or occupant of the public lands, prior to the passage of this act,
who is now in possession and cultivated nnv part thereof in tho year 1S33, shall
be entitled to all the bendits and pnvile
grs proided by the act entitled 'An act to gra:it pre cmplion rights to settlors on the public lands,' approved May 29th, 1KJ0, and the sui I act is hereby revived and bhall continue in force two years from xiB pa.. e of this act, and no longer,

'I'll c e idenee must be taken by a Justice rl the Peace, in the presence of the Regis
ter and Receiver, wherever convenient, and be in answer to such interrogatories, to be propounded by them, as may be best calculated to elicit the truth; and when not convenient tor the w itnesses to attend befircthe Register anJ Receiver, the evidence is to be taken by a Justice of the Peace, r.i.d L e i:i answer to such interrogatories to be propounded by him as shall be best calculated to elicit the truth. Th" credibility of the testimony is to be certified by the Justice of the Peace,
and bv such other persons of the borho.' l as can certifv the same.

passage of this act. (viz. f,om 19th June, 1831,) the o4iartcr section of which he claims 'ho pre-emption, and file in the office of the Register a relinquishment of
the ngnt of entry to the other ; but in all cases where those six months will expire
before the date of the public sale of the township including such claim, the designation and relinquishment must be made
prior to the day of such sale. 7th. Where an improvement is situate in different quarter sections, the claimant is entitled to enter such two adjacent legal sub-di visions, viz. the east and west half quarters as will include his improvement. 8th. Where an improvement is situate on a fraction containing less than the quantity of a quarter section, such fraction must be taken in lieu of an entire quarter section. Should the fraction contain more than the quantity of a quarter section, the claimant will be permitted to
take according to the legal sub divisions of such fraction, so as to include his im-
rovements and obtain the quantity ot one
hundred and sixty acres as nearly as practicable, without any further sub-division.
In cases where two or more persons are
settled on the same quarter section, the
two first actual settlers w ho cultivated in
1833, and had possession on 19th June, 1231, are entitled to the right of pre emp-
tion. It an equal division ot sucn quar
ter by a north and south, or cast and west
line w ill not secure to each party his improvements, they must become joint pur
chasers and patentees of the entire quar
ter section; if otherwise, it will be divided so as to secure to the parties, respectively, their improvements; in cither case, the said settler shall each be entitled to a pre-emption of eighty acres of land, elsewhere, in said land district, so as not to interfere with other settlers having a right of preference. 10th. You are requested to make monthly reports of those cases where two persons obtain a pre-emption on the same quarter section. 11th. Transfers of pre-emption rights, prior to the issuing cf patents, will not be recognised. 12th. The act of 29ih May, 1S30, anplied only to lands to which the Indian ti
tle was extinguished at that date. Hence the right of pre-emption to lands to which the Indian title was extinguished subse
quent to that date, can be claimed only in irtue of cultivation in 1833, and possession on 19th June, 1831. 13ih. In making your usual returns to thisoHiee, you will in all cases of purchases under this act, designate them by marking on the returns, the certificate of purchase and receipt thus, "Pre-emption, Act of 1831." Separate returns and a distinct scries of numbers for pre-emption "receipts'' and "cerlificatcsr' are not admissible. 11th. Inasmuch as the ordinary private entry of lands subject thereto at the date of the act, must be permitted to proceed at the hazard of interfering with the preemption claims which may be established
within the two years allowed by the act, it is indispensably necessary, bv way of precaution, to require each applicant at private sale, to file with his written uap-
I plication, an athdawt to ttie following
etlect, to wit : "1 do solemnly swear, (or afiirm) that since the first day of January, 1831, viz. on or about the day of , I per-
1833, have been deprived of tho advanta
ges of the act of 1839. When such cases shall be presented, you will specially report them, with all the testimony, for the decision of the Department. 19th. Where floating rights to eighty acres are crantcd under this act, they
must be located and paid for at the time
of entry of the tracts on which such float
ing rights accrue.
In the execution of the act, the utmost vigilance and diligence on your part, are requisite to detect fraud, and determine
the character and credibility of the testi
mony. A faithful and impartial discharge
of your duty are alike essential to protect the government from imposition, and the
honest claimant in his right. I am, very respectfully, gentlemen, your obedient servant, ELIJAH HAYWARD, Commissioner . P. S. It will be proper to give publicity to the law, and to these instructions, by distributing copies of this circular throughout your Land District; for this purpose
a number of copies will bo turnisned. It is also desirable that the newspapers published in your district should gratuitously
publish the same for the information of the community.
