Given at our Court at St. James the Sixteenth day of July 1783 In the Twenty third year of our Reign.

Whereas many of our Loyal Subjects Inhabitants of the Colonies and Provinces, now the United States of America are desirous of retaining their allegiance to Us, and of living in our Dominions and for this purpose are disposed to take up and improve Lands in our Province of Quebec, and We being desirous to encourage our said Loyal Subjects in such
their

[P.3]
their Intentions, and to testify our approbation of their Loyalty to us and obedience to our Government, by allotting Lands for them in our said Province, and whereas We are also desirous of testifying our approbation of the Bravery and Loyalty of our Forces serving in our said Province, and who may be reduced there by allowing a certain Quantity of land to such of the non Commissioned Officers and private Men of our said Forces, who are inclined to become settlers therein. It is our Will and pleasure that immediately after you shall receive this our Instruction you do direct our Surveyor General of Lands for our said Province of Quebec to admeasure and lay out such a Quantity of Land as you with the advice of our Council shall deem necessary and convenient for the Settlement of our said Loyal Subjects, and the non commissioned Officers and Private Men of our Forces which may be reduced in our said Province, who shall be desirous of becoming Settlers therein; such Lands to be divided into distinct Seigneuries of Fiefs, to extend from two to four Leagues in front, and from three to five leagues in depth.

[P.5]

It is our further Will and pleasure, that every Person within the meaning of this our Instruction, upon their making application for Land, shall take the oaths directed by Law before you or our Commander in Chief for the time being, or some Person by you or him authorized for that purpose, and shall also at the same time make and subscribe the following declaration, viz “I, A.B. do promise and declare that I will maintain and defend to the utmost of my power the authority of the King in his Parliament as the supreme Legislature of this Province,” which Oaths and declaration shall also be taken, made and subscribed by every future Tenant before his, her or their Admission, upon alienation, descent, Marriage or any otherwise however, and upon refusal, the Lands to become revested in Us our Heirs and Successors.

And whereas we have some time since purchased the Siegneurie of Sorel from the then proprietors, the Lands of which are particularly well adapted for Improvement and Cultivation, and the local situation of the said Siegneurie makes it expedient that he same should be settled by as considerable a number of Inhabitants of approved Loyalty as can be accommodated therein with all possible dispatch.
