VPRS 14413 Register of Applications, Mallee Region, Mallee Lands

Mallee lands were classified as those in the Mallee region of Victoria and those on the Mallee border in the Land Districts of Horsham, Kerang and St Arnaud. This series consists of Registers of Applications for a lease of or a licence to occupy Mallee lands in the Mallee Region. They relate to applications for Mallee allotments under Section 15 of the Mallee Pastoral Leases Act 1883 and Section 157 of the Land Act 1890, and applications for agricultural allotments of Mallee lands under Section 3 of the The Mallee Act 1889 (later Sections 7 and 19, Mallee Lands Act 1896 and Sections 217 and 218 of the Land Act 1901). Details in these registers were sent to the Mallee Division of the Occupation Branch of VA 538 Department of Crown Lands and Survey for registration in other registers there (see VPRS 14405 and VPRS 14367).Details given are the allocated file number, the name and location of the applicant, the location of the land (often given as county rather than parish) and its area and the decision of a Local Lands Board. The remarks column was used for notations relating to the receipt and sending of correspondence and the management of the file.Sections 15 to 17 of the Mallee Pastoral Leases Act 1883 (later Section 157, Land Act 1890) set out the terms and conditions for these leases. Mallee allotments were to be for not more than twenty years, with half a year's rent being payable in advance. At the end of the lease, the land and all improvements were to revert to the Crown. Existing occupiers of the land were entitled to the lease of one Mallee allotment if they applied within one month. Otherwise, the land was to become part of that generally available. By the 1890 Land Act, the area of all allotments held by one person was not to exceed 20,000 acres.Section 3 of The Mallee Act 1889 permitted lessees of Mallee allotments to select an area of up to 320 acres out of that allotment as an agricultural allotment. The conditions were to be the same as those pertaining to agricultural allotments in the Land Act 1884. Section 19 of the Mallee Lands Act 1896 continued this provision with the maximum amount of land able to be licensed or leased as an agricultural allotment being 640 acres. The same privilege of selection of an agricultural allotment from Mallee lands was extended to non-Mallee allotment lessees in Section 7 of this same Act, with lessees able to select outside their leased areas.

马利土地（Mallee lands）被划分为维多利亚州马利地区的土地，以及霍舍姆、克朗和圣阿诺德土地区马利边境的土地。

本系列包含马利地区马利土地租赁或占用许可申请登记册。这些登记册涉及根据1883年《马利牧场租赁法案》第15条和1901年《土地法案》第157条提出的马利地块（Mallee allotments）申请，以及根据1889年《马利法案》第3条（后为1896年《马利土地法案》第7条和第19条、1901年《土地法案》第217条和第218条）提出的马利土地农业地块（agricultural allotments）申请。

这些登记册中的详细信息被发送至VA538皇家土地与测量部占用处马利分部，以便在该处其他登记册中进行登记（参见VPRS 14405和VPRS 14367）。

登记的详细信息包括分配的档案编号、申请人姓名及所在地、土地位置（通常以县而非教区标示）、土地面积以及地方土地委员会的决定。备注栏用于记录与函件收发及档案管理相关的注释。

1883年《马利牧场租赁法案》第15至17条（后为1901年《土地法案》第157条）规定了这些租赁的条款和条件。马利地块的租赁期限不得超过20年，需预付半年租金。租赁期满时，土地及所有改良设施须归还皇家。土地现有占用者若在一个月内提出申请，有权租赁一块马利地块；否则，该土地将纳入公开可用土地范围。根据1890年《土地法案》，单人持有的所有地块总面积不得超过20000英亩。

1889年《马利法案》第3条允许马利地块承租人从其地块中选择最多320英亩作为农业地块，其条件与1884年《土地法案》中涉及农业地块的条件相同。1896年《马利土地法案》第19条延续了这一规定，将可许可或租赁为农业地块的最大面积调整为640英亩。同一法案第7条将从马利土地中选择农业地块的同等特权扩展至非马利地块承租人，允许承租人在其租赁区域外进行选择。
