This petitioner prays that the location of the West half of Lot number fifteen in the 1st concession of the township Lanark belonged to his late Father may not be rescinded but that opportunity be afforded to his brother, the heir at law to claim it.
This half lot referred to was returned by the Military Settling Department as a location in the name of William Millar, an Emigrant Settler, and has not been described for Patent - The report of Inspection of May 1840 states an improvement of fifteen acres as having been made but which at that time was unoccupied.
