Government to the proposed Company: subject or not subject in certain cases, to
forfeiture
2. Is it not proposed that to the Company should belong the whole produce of the
Sales from time to time made, of so many portions of the land? If yes: then so
it is that for the purpose of these Sales the Company must have a functionary
constantly resident in the spot - call him the Grantor-General.
