The penalty on non-performance of any of these articles is forfeiture of the estate, and all the labour which may have been bestowed upon it.
These people are to receive provisions, (the same quantity as the working convicts), clothes, and medicinal assistance, for eighteen months from the day on which they settled.
To clear and cultivate the land, a hatchet, a tomahawk, two hoes, a spade and a shovel, are given to each person, whether man or woman; and a certain number of cross-cut saws among the whole.

To stock their farms, two sow pigs were promised to each settler, but they almost all say they have not yet received any, of which they complain loudly.

They all received grain to sow and plant for the first year.

They settled here in July and August last.

Most of them were obliged to build their own houses; and wretched hovels three-fourths of them are.
