the power to dissolve it ; that the privilege of a,.soci-

in the Huron tract, worth 263,3781. 3s. I id. • 802,738
acres in the crown referees worth 218,4901. 17s_ -
making together, 481,8691. it'd. To this should be
added 306,872 acres leased for 10 years, and which
the lessees were at liberty to purchase on payment

mentary vote to the chairman brought the proceedings to a
