NRS-13791 | Copies of reports sent to the Governor on land policy

There are three reports in this volume on general land policy. The first is dated 26 January 1826 and concerns the means to be followed in carrying out the Royal Instructions of 1825 relative to the division of the Colony and the disposal of Crown lands. It contains details of the amount of land granted up to 1822 and the conditions on which it was granted. It contains observations about the practicability of carrying out the instructions concerning the reservation of lands for glebes and for the Clergy and School Lands Corporation and the difficulty in carrying out the instructions concerning the valuation of Crown lands. It also contains remarks on the resumption of land for public roads and suggests the abolition of tickets of occupation for grazing unsold Crown lands. The report is printed in HRA 1.xiv. 303 et seq. The report dated 16 December 1827 concerns the impracticability of granting land to settlers, taking into account the quality of the land in relation to the amount of capital possessed by the settlers, and what quit rent had to be paid on the cash valuation, and the expediency of allowing settlers to purchase larger quantities of land than permitted by the existing regulations and proposals for a new method of payment for land purchased. (This report is printed in HRA 1.xiv. 295 et seq.) There are also two reports dated October 1827 concerning the right of the Crown to re-enter upon land the lease of which land had expired and the payment of quit rents.(2/1924 part). 1 vol (part).

本卷收录三篇关于一般土地政策的报告。
第一篇报告落款为1826年1月26日，内容围绕落实1825年王室指令（Royal Instructions）展开，该指令涉及新南威尔士殖民地的区划与王室土地（Crown lands）处置事宜。报告详述了截至1822年获批的土地总量及其获批条件；就落实指令中关于预留教区牧师驻所用地（glebes）及神职人员与学校土地公司（Clergy and School Lands Corporation）用地的可行性展开论述，同时指出了落实王室土地估值相关指令所面临的难点；此外，报告还针对为公共道路收回土地的相关事宜发表见解，并提议废除针对未售出王室土地的放牧占用许可凭证（tickets of occupation）制度。该报告刊载于《澳大利亚历史档案汇编》（Historical Records of Australia，简称HRA）1.xiv. 303及后续页码。
落款为1827年12月16日的第二篇报告，聚焦向殖民者批地的不可行性：报告结合土地质量与殖民者所持资本规模的匹配关系，分析了以现金估值为基础计算需缴纳的代役租（quit rent）问题；同时探讨了放宽现有法规对殖民者购地规模限制的合理性，以及为购地者制定新型付款方式的相关提议。（该报告刊载于HRA 1.xiv. 295及后续页码。）
本卷还收录两篇落款为1827年10月的报告，内容涉及王室对租约已到期土地的收回权，以及代役租的缴纳事宜。（馆藏编号：2/1924 分册）本卷为单卷分册出版物。
