Brant's Block containing 4000 acres, in the South-west

corneroftne Township, is not surveyed into concessions,

neither are its lots numbered, therefore I think the better

way is to give the names of the occupants, of the farms in

order as their respective lots border on the roads. The

principal road through the Block runs North from AVel-

lington Square to Dundas Street. The places and occu-

pants of the lots on the East side of the road, are :—a por-

tion of Wellington Square, John Triller, Esq., Nelson Ogg,

Frederick Bray, Joseph Haming, John Waldie, John

Hemingway, Joshua Freeman, Joshua Kerns, Josiah Par-

sons, David Kerns and Mrs. Lord.

On the West side of the said road, are :—a part of Wel-

lington Square, M. Denning's Nursery, Saphur Cruao,

George N. Will, William Chapman, Smith Will, Thoraai

Graham, Wellington Square Depot, Joseph Freeman,

David Gant, George Gant, Joseph Freeman, Nicholas

Glovei and John Hemingway.

The remainder of the lots in the Block, either border on

the Town Line, between this Township and Flamboro'

East, or on roads leading to it.

Beoinnmff at the South, the names of the occupants of

the jsaid lots', are—Keer's Estate, Gilbert Davis, William
