VPRS 14367 Register of Applications, Mallee Allotments, Mallee Pastoral Leases Act 1883

This series consists of the Registers of Applications for Mallee Allotments created and maintained by the Mallee Division of the Department of Crown Lands and Survey. This Division dealt with the lands in the Mallee region and lands in such Land Districts as Horsham, St Arnaud and Kerang which were classified as being of the same type.Details given in the registers are the number and date of the application, the name and address of the applicant and the location and extent of the land. It should be noted that for most Mallee lands the location is given as the county (e.g. Karkaroc, Tatchera, Borung) rather than the more usual parish. Other details are of the results of Local Land Board hearings regarding the application, the date of the lease, details of any transfer of the lease and details in the Remarks column relating to the management of the file and any correspondence.Sections 15 to 17 of the Mallee Pastoral Leases Act 1883 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.VPRS 14367/P1 was previously registered as follows:Unit 1 was Unit 254 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 2 was Unit 6 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 3 was Unit 161 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 4 was Unit 212 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 5 was Unit 196 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 6 was Unit 165 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Units 7, 8 and 9 were Units 1 - 3 of VPRS 1306/P Registers of Applications - Mallee Allotments.Unit 10 was Unit 225 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 11 was Unit 2 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 12 was Unit 3 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 13 was Unit 164 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 14 was Unit 69 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.Unit 15 was Unit 150 of VPRS 458 / P Applications Registers, Land Act Unknown.

本系列数据集由王室土地与测量部（Department of Crown Lands and Survey）马利分区（Mallee Division）创建并维护的马利土地划拨（Mallee Allotments）申请登记册组成。该分区负责管辖马利地区，以及被归类为同类土地的霍舍姆（Horsham）、圣阿诺德（St Arnaud）和克兰甘（Kerang）等土地管辖区内的土地。

登记册所载详情包括申请编号与申请日期、申请人姓名及住址，以及土地的位置与面积。需注意的是，多数马利土地的位置以郡（如卡卡罗克Karkaroc、塔切拉Tatchera、博伦Borung）标注，而非常规使用的教区（parish）。

其余详情则涵盖本地土地委员会就该申请举行听证会的结果、租赁契约签订日期、租赁权转让的相关细节，以及备注栏中有关档案管理与所有往来信函的信息。1883年《马利畜牧租赁法》（Mallee Pastoral Leases Act 1883）第15至17条规定了此类租赁的条款与条件。

马利土地划拨的租赁期限不得超过20年，且需提前预付半年租金。租赁期满后，土地及其所有改良设施均需归还王室。现有土地占用者若在1个月内提出申请，可获得一处马利土地划拨的租赁权；否则该土地将纳入公开可分配的土地范畴。根据1890年《土地法》，个人持有的所有划拨土地总面积不得超过20000英亩。
