Two petitions to Nepean. Petitioner has purchased a tract of land on the north side of the north-west branch of the Sydney River, an assignment of the claim of John Cameron. Cameron was one of those persons entitled to receive a grant notwithstanding the restraining injunction, and petitioner feels himself vested with Cameron's claims. A second petition of the same date asks a two-acre lot adjoining a lot he now holds. Signed at Sydney. Report of Crawley to McKinnon: 75 acres on the northern side of the southwest branch of Sydney River. Plan.
