His Majesty does not wish any suspected inhabitants be left in that Colony.

His intention also is

that an exact Inventory be made in the settlements

and plantations by Commissary Gaillard (whom

His Majesty wishes him to take with him,) of all

cattle, grain, merchandize, furniture, effects and

he may find in each of the said settlements that he select from among the inhabitants of Canada and the officers and soldiers of the troops those who will be found qualified to maintain and

utensils

;

improve them, and that he furnish these with farms in His Majesty's name leaving them of the provisions that will be found there, as much as shall be necessary to support them until they have produced some and he will examine one with another, those to whom he will think proper to grant said farms, ;

so as to distribute the greater number in proportion to their skill and strength, observing to associate

several in the same settlement

when he shall deem such necessary. He will inform his Majesty of him the enumeration of all that he shall have left in

all he shall have done in this regard by sending

each such settlement, and furnish his opinion of the Quit rents which they will be in a condition to

pay him.

After having settled on what he shall judge absolutely necessary to leave to those to whom

he will have given these farms, he will place in store all the surplus, such as grain, whale oil and all sorts of merchandize and other principal effects of which also inventories shall be made to be equally sent to his Majesty.
